Virginia Eubanks joined the Department of Women’s Studies at the University at Albany, SUNY in 2004 after completing her PhD in Science and Technology Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Eubanks came to her research on technology, women’s poverty, and citizenship in the United States through her history of activism in the community media, technology center, and antipoverty movements. She is currently working on a book entitled Technologies of Citizenship: Women, Inequality and the Information Age, forthcoming from MIT Press. Eubanks also cofounded the “Popular Technology Workshops,” where people struggling to meet their basic needs come together to define the social justice issues of the high-tech economy and develop grassroots solutions.
