Common Science?: Women, Science, and Knowledge

Race, Gender, and Science

by Jean Barr, Lynda Birke

While academic feminist critiques of science and science education are important, the authors believe that more attention has to be paid to what non-academics think and feel about science. Here is a starting point for developing a feminist pedagogy around science in the larger community.
