In recent months, FMS assistant professor Reem Hilu's first monograph, The Intimate Life of Computers: Digital Domesticity in the 1980s (University of Minnesota Press, 2024) was favorably reviewed in Gender & History, the top international journal for the study of gender relations, and International Journal of Communication, a leading interdisciplinary journal of communication studies.
Gender & History lauds Dr. Hilu's book as "a well-researched and very accessible account to learn about computers in the domestic sphere. A great recommendation for students, scholars and hobbyists. International Journal of Communication, for its part, praises the book as "a rare and necessary work: methodologically innovative, theoretically generative, and historically grounded."
