  I should have found this and included it in my thesis. "Researchers working in this area have argued that much of the early work concerned with human-computer interaction failed to develop a critical assessment of the technology that would lead researchers to study the ways that social context, power relations and social bias may affect the actual systems that are created. To counter these difficulties, Suchman and Jordan [16] stress the importance of demystifying technology and legitimating women's knowledge in the system development process. They argue that this will require a dramatic shift in how we view the knowledge and skills that go into system development.
Such a shift must incorporate a sophisticated understanding of the social world into the system development process. " [[failed to develop a critical assessment of the technology that would lead researchers to study the ways that social context, power relations and social bias may affect the actual systems that are created]] - this is exactly the question I'm interested in!
