Citations in the corpus

• FROM WOMEN AND TECHNOLOGY TO GENDERED TECHNOSCIENCE (2007, background): “Introducing terms like ‘interpretative flexibility’ and ‘domestication’ helps to capture the idea that the particular affordances of a technology are not given and predictable (Pinch & Bijker 1987; Haddon 2004).”
• Applied artificial intelligence and trust—The case of autonomous vehicles and medical assistance devices (2016, background): “Since the perception of risk is a social process (Douglas andWildavsky, 1983), technologies cannot be viewed as isolated from their social context and cultural values (Selwyn, 2003; Slovic, 1993).”
• Hey Alexa ... examine the variables influencing the use of artificial intelligent in-home voice assistants (2019, background): “This view is also shared by Selwyn (2003), who avers that individuals incorporate technology use in their daily life as a result of the symbolic value they achieve in such an activity.”
• Gradations in digital inclusion: children, young people and the digital divide (2007, background): “Key words children and young people • digital divide • digital inclusion • internet • internet literacy”
• Reconsidering Political and Popular Understandings of the Digital Divide (2004, background): “…inequalities in the use of ICT are only a passing phase of technological adoption and that, in the long term, the only people not using ICTs will be ‘information want nots’ – refuseniks who chose not to engage with ICT for ideological reasons, despite being able to in practice (see Selwyn, 2003).”
• Beyond the user: use and non-use in HCI (2009, unknown): “Selwyn (2003) is similarly concerned with non-use, and with the ways in which traditional rhetorics of technological progress " pathologizes " non-use.”
