Urban Errands

The means of mobility

Sarah S. Lochlann Jain

Stanford University, CA, sarjain{at}leland.stanford.edu

Premising that both mobility and technology are co-constituted by gender, this article analyzes, through two day-long in situ interviews, the activities of two American women, one in Portland and the other in Manhattan. The author examines how mobility as a social and material system undergirds the use of new technologies such as cell phones. Furthermore, the article examines how possibilities for civic life circulate among these aspects of environmental, technological and social infrastructures.

Key Words: automobiles • gender and technology • mobile phones • sport utility vehicle (SUV) • suburban design
