Gender Perspectives in Technology for Emergency Management – A Brief Systematic Literature Study

Abstract

What is the position of gender and intersectional analysis within ISCRAM's research community, and how has it developed over time? In this paper, we conduct a systematic literature review exploring the presence of gender perspectives and intersectionality in the ISCRAM digital library from 2004 to 2025, and we outline a research agenda based on our findings. Using the theoretical frameworks of feminist technoscience studies and intersectionality studies, we have categorised papers in the digital library. The identified articles fall into four categories, ranging from studies that treat gender as one of many variables for statistical purposes to papers offering a deeper analysis grounded in gender theory and intersectionality. Our analysis highlights growing momentum within the ISCRAM community to more fully integrate gender-sensitive perspectives, potentially aided by broader inclusion of social science scholars in the conference and its network.
