The Science Question in Feminism

The Science Question in Feminism

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Harding, Sandra, PUBLISHER: Cornell University Press, Can science, steeped in Western, masculine, bourgeois endeavors, neverong>theong>less be used for emancipatory ends? In this major contribution to ong>theong> debate over ong>theong> role gender plays in ong>theong> scientific enterprise, Sandra Harding pursues that question, challenging ong>theong> intellectual and social foundations of scientific thought.Harding provides ong>theong> first comprehensive and critical survey of ong>theong> feminist science critiques, and examines inquiries into ong>theong> androcentricism that has endured since ong>theong> birth of modern science. Harding critiques three epistemological approaches: feminist empiricism, which identifies only bad science as ong>theong> problem; ong>theong> feminist standpoint, which holds that women's social experience provides a unique starting point for discovering masculine bias in science; and feminist postmodernism, which disputes ong>theong> most basic scientific assumptions. She points out ong>theong> tensions among ong>theong>se stances and ong>theong> inadequate concepts that inform ong>theong>ir analyses, yet maintains that ong>theong> critical discourse ong>theong>y foster is vital to ong>theong> quest for a science informed by emancipatory morals and politics.

Climate Change Education: Goals, Audiences, and Strategies:

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Forrest, Sherrie / Feder, Michael A., PUBLISHER: National Academies Press, ong>Theong> global scientific and policy community now unequivocally accepts that human activities cause global climate change. Although information on climate change is readily available, ong>theong> nation still seems unprepared or unwilling to respond effectively to climate change, due partly to a general lack of public understanding of climate change issues and opportunities for effective responses. ong>Theong> reality of global climate change lends increasing urgency to ong>theong> need for effective education on earth system science, as well as on ong>theong> human and behavioral dimensions of climate change, from broad societal action to smart energy choices at ong>theong> household level. ong>Theong> public's limited understanding of climate change is partly ong>theong> result of four critical challenges that have slowed development and delivery of effective climate change education. As one response to ong>theong>se challenges, Congress, in its and appropriation process, requested that ong>theong> National Science Foundation (NSF) create a program in climate change education to provide funding to external grantees to improve climate change education in ong>theong> United States. To support and strengong>theong>n ong>theong>se education initiatives, ong>theong> Board on Science Education of ong>theong> National Research Council (NRC) created ong>theong> Climate Change Education Roundtable. ong>Theong> Roundtable convened two workshops. Climate Change Education Goals, Audiences, and Strategies is a summary of ong>theong> discussions and presentations from ong>theong> first workshop, held October 21 and . This report focuses on two primary topics: public understanding and decision maker support. It should be viewed as an initial step in examining ong>theong> research on climate change and applying it in specific policy circumstances.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Le Grand, H. E., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This innovative book uses ong>theong> story of how a modern science achieved its present shape and focus to introduce ong>theong> question of ong>theong> nature of scientific change and its philosophical analysis. ong>Theong> "modern revolution in geology" of ong>theong> s and s saw ong>theong> triumph of ong>theong> global ong>theong>ory of plate tectonics, and decisive turning point in fifty years' controversy and competition first sparked in by Wegener's proposal of continenta drift.
