Power, Access, Status: The Discourse of Race, Gender, and Class in the Maker Movement \textbar Technology & Social Change Group. Britton, L.
Paper abstract bibtex Spaces and ‘Maker’ activities are promoted as being inclusive, open spaces. However, this type of rhetoric tends to ignore social inequalities that impede access and participation, where privilege, oppression, and domination over some groups of people are not acknowledged (Dunbar-Hester, 2014). As it stands now, the Maker identity and technical DIY activities are not for everyone; in many ways it actually reinforces an engrained culture of white masculinity in the design and deployment of technology while rhetorically claiming universality. Only certain types of Making are truly considered as part of the culture, for example, fixing a car as a hobbyist is considered and promoted as Making in a completely different way than a mechanic who fixes cars for a living.
