Examining Gender Inclusion through the Analysis of User Journey Maps in a Makerspace Melo, Marijel Shared Resources and Services Gender Bias Gender Differences Educational Technology Technology Uses in Education Cooperative Learning Academic Libraries Student Behavior College Students The tension between cultivating inclusive library makerspaces and the gender biases rooted in the spatial configurations of makerspaces are examined in this article. This case study outlines a pilot study that investigated the relationship between gender identity and the decisions that study participants made regarding how and why they navigated a library makerspace in a certain way. Specifically, the guiding research question asked: "How does gender identity potentially impact the creation processes and behaviors of students in techcentric environments such as makerspaces?" The study yielded three preliminary findings: men-identified users were more mobile in the makerspace than women-identified users; conventional makerspace technologies were readily coded as being either associated with men or women; participants pointed to gender identity as a factor informing their decisioning during their collaborative making experience. |
