- Class Description:
- This course introduces students to the field of feminist science studies, which analyzes how technology and science produces both liberatory and oppressive relations between and across genders, sexes, sexualities, races, species, abilities, classes, and environments. It is an interdisciplinary course that will employ critical theories and histories, scientific data, popular cultural artifacts, and technological developments to examine the relationships between science and its social, political, and naturalcultural contexts. Students will critically analyze scientific developments in order to become more aware of how feminist science studies restructures the fields of both critical theory and scientific practice. We will consider the ethical, epistemological, sociological, and material implications of a diverse range of topics, and hopefully engender new ways of thinking, creating, and transforming the sciences. Topics include infections and biofears, biocolonialism & biopiracy, reproductive justice, the science of queer sex, gender, and sexualities, posthumanisms & critical animal studies, ?old? eugenics, ?new? eugenics, the ?reality? of race, indigenous approaches to science, gendered & racial minorities in the STEMs, community participatory research, democracy in science, environmental, food, & climate justice
