GWST 378: Women, Gender, and Sceince

This course explores how the sciences have conceptualized and explained various forms of difference - what scientific knowledge says about sex, gender, race, sexuality, and other identity categories - as well as whether gender and race shape the “doing” of science-(how) does identity matter in scientific practice? Through a series of writing and research projects, the course asks students to untangle the complex relationship between scientific knowledge and social inequality, and to consider role of scientific practice in social change.

Thursdays 4:30-7pm in person
