Abstract
Think about normative culture in computer science and question it based on third wave Human-Computer Interaction also involves problematizing our culture, our society and us as part of livelihood. The Science, Technology and Society studies that are basing our work by feminists’ optics reveal that there is no way to think about technoscience without thinking about people who are the reason for its existence. Our objective is highlight plural approaches in the computer science graduate courses documents in Brazilian Computer Science and in Bachelor in Information Systems and Computer Engineering from a public institution in Brazil based on feminist theories of Science, Technology and Society. The work results are: a) structural barriers in low women participation; b) gender disparities are not even mentioned in Computer Engineering documents; c) intersection of race, class and gender are present only in Bachelor in Information Systems documents; d) power relations in macro axes reveal intentions of those who create computer science documents in Brazil.
