Gendered Innovations: Creation of New Values through Sex and Gender Analyses

Gendered Innovations have the potential to change society. But how can it be realized? In this symposium, we will learn about the methodology of Gendered Innovations and examples of its implementation in other countries, and consider creating new values through Gendered Innovations in Japan.
Ochanomizu University established the Institute for Gendered Innovations (IGI) in April 2022, and this conference is the second of its kick-off symposia series. The main objectives of this conference are to disseminate the latest information on Gendered Innovations research and share an in-depth international discussion on Gendered Innovations with the Japanese audience.

Keynote Speech

Gendered Innovations: New Global Initiatives and Next Steps
Londa Schiebinger

Gendered Innovations in Science, Health & Medicine, Engineering, and Environment harness the creative power of sex, gender, and intersectional analysis for discovery and innovation. My talk will address the latest global developments in Gendered Innovations. Methodologically, we will explore how sex and sex interact, how sex and gender interact, and what is intersectionality and what it is important. New case studies will include haptics, space travel, fast fashion, intersectional robots, and new efforts to integrate social analysis into core medicine, engineering, and computer science courses. We will also discuss policy initiatives—our new global study of national funding agency policy in Japan played an important role, new journal guidelines at Nature and others, and what universities need to do to support these efforts. Participants may wish to read: Sex, Gender Analysis Improves Science and Engineering Nature (2019). For late-breaking news on research in this area, join the Gendered Innovations listserv.

***********

Dr. Rembtand Koning is an Assistant Professor of Business Administration in the Strategy Unit at Harvard Business School. Professor Koning studies how managers and entrepreneurs discover new ways to create value. His work explores how bias in how we discover hinders firm performance, leads managers to overlook promising new practices and talent, and drives inequities in who benefits from innovation and competition. However, his research also shows how companies can counter biases in discovery to build better strategies and more inclusive innovations.

To understand how firms and entrepreneurs discover his work builds on ideas from a range of disciplines, including sociology, economics, and business strategy. It also relies on a range of methods, including randomized control trials (RCTs), text analysis, and machine learning approaches. He has studied entrepreneurs and firms worldwide and in various industry contexts, including online startups, scientific discovery, biomedical innovation, and retail trade. His papers have explored how social skills improve matching and diffusion in small business advice networks, how A/B testing enables the discovery of product-market fit, how male-dominated online platforms can distort the direction of product innovation away from the needs of women, how shifts in the boundary of the firm have led US companies to miss out on diverse talent, and how the demographic background of innovators impacts who benefits from innovation.

Dr. Mamiko Fujiyama is an associate professor at the Center for AI and Data Science at Ochanomizu University. Urban and architectural design is her primary field of research, which focuses on the integration of various technologies and urban environments, and the formulation of in-between spaces and transitional boundary in contemporary urban space. Considering the spatial epistemology perspective, she argues that the forms of architecture and urban space, as well as the users’ perceptions, are determined not only by external factors such as functional and technical conditions and linguistic descriptions but also by the internal factors that manage the syntax of historical, cultural, and social backgrounds. Her research covers a wide array of topics, including the extension of energy information visualization technology, which suggests users to exhibit environmentally conscious behavior in information–experience spaces, verification of the energy-independent toilet environments from the disaster resilience perspective, and the potential of developing design and construction processes using technologies such as drones and digital fabrication.
As a researcher at the Institute for Gendered Innovation, she examines the conventional spatial norms in urban and architectural design from a gender-sensitive perspective. Her current research pertains to all-gender toilets and the creation of inclusive toilet environments.
