Xref = [In this subject students will examine historical, social and cultural issues concerning: (1) Women's participation in disciplines and careers involving scientific and technological expertise. (2) Attitudes to nature, body and mind which have provided the context for the development of science and technology. (3) Debates in the history, philosophy and social studies of science on the social construction of scientific knowledge, focusing on the effectsä of gender. Gender will be considered as a social and historical variable that has shaped the scientific and technological enterprises. Students will explore the interactions between gender and science through the analysis of 5 case studies: the 'discovery' of DNA, 18th century anatomy, late 20th century studies of primate behaviour, Barbara McClintock's work in genetics, and the worlds of high energy particle physicists. The relations between science, technology and progress will be explored in discussions of workplace, domestic and reproductive technologies.]
