Feminist Science Studies: History, Theory, Practice

This interdisciplinary graduate seminar surveys the history, central theories, diverse research methodologies, and varied practices that make up the field of feminist science and technology studies(STS). In the first section of the course, Foundations, students explore the historical development of this rich, and dynamic field of inquiry, and are introduced to fundamental claims, critiques, and debates that characterize the field. In the second section, Feminist STS in Practice, we examine a particular scholar or lab currently engaged in research practices and knowledge production underwritten by feminist STS principles each week.
