PHIL046 PO

PO

This course examines feminist perspectives on and critiques of science and technology, traditional scientific world views, and how gendered and other values inform scientific theory and practice. Topics include the current and historical participation of women in science, with attention to race, class, and nationality; scientific theories of sex differences; the scientific construction of sex; issues in women's health; and environmental issues. This is a Napier course and will include participation of several elder co-learners from the Pilgrim Place retirement community, offering an opportunity for intergenerational discussion, mentoring and projects. Students will also participate in several Tuesday evening writing group sessions at the local state women's prison.
