Science, Sex and Subjectivity
Monday, May 28
Science is often seen as the unbiased pursuit of the truth. Yet some feminist thinkers argue these theories are limited by male language and logic. Is there a radically different and feminist way of doing science? And if there is, what would it look like and could it prove more powerful than our current account of the universe? Or is there only one form of rationality and one truth?
Philosophy of Science after Feminism author Janet Kourany, cognitive neuroscientist Gina Rippon, and author of Inferior: How Science Got Women Wrong Angela Saini debate a feminist future for science.

Gender Studies is about understanding people, both yourself and others. Gender Studies teaches us how human identities are shaped by gender and related traits such as sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, class, religion and nationality. Through Gender Studies, we not only strive to understand people better, but because of this endeavor, we hopefully become more understanding people.
