Gender, Science, and British Cultural History
WMST 310 SP

This course begins with "gender" as its theoretical focus and the substantive focus raises questions about scientific authority. The meaning of "science" is expanded to include medicine, the social sciences, and the use of scientific rhetoric in constructing public discourses of science. Focusing primarily on readings in British cultural history, the course introduces students to recent work in feminist studies as well as on the social construction of scientific knowledge.
