Title: Another Science is Possible. The Role of Feminist Theory in
Building Socially Responsible Scientific Knowledge
Londa Schiebinger, in her book entitled ‘Has Feminism Changed Science’
(2001), has shown how the growing number of female scientists gradually
transformed specific fields of science. Following her reasoning, I want
to point out how feminist theories influence the way we think about
science in the philosophy of science and science and technology studies
today, and additionally indicate how the critical feminist approach
affects the priorities, methodologies, and aims of the particular fields
of knowledge.
In the first step, following Janet Kourany, I will explain what a
socially responsible philosophy of science is. Then I will show what it
means to adopt a feminist perspective in science and to include a gender
perspective in research. Then, I will present research results that
indicate that science as an institution is entangled in broader cultural
processes that perpetuate stereotypes (e.g. Draw a Scientist experiment,
visualization of a female scientist, the role of material culture).
Finally, I will present two examples of building complementary, socially
responsible scientific knowledge, enriched with a critical feminist
perspective: neurofeminism and data feminism.
