FEMINISM, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES

PROJECT EXPLORES THE INTERSECTIONS OF GENDER EQUITY AND SOCIAL JUSTICE WITH SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES USING HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVES. IT INTENTIONALLY USES INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACHES OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY STUDIES, INCLUDING HISTORY, POLITICS, ARTS, CULTURE, PUBLIC HEALTH, SOCIAL SCIENCES, WRITING AND RESEARCH TO MAKE EXPLORING STEM (SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING, MATH) TOPICS MORE ACCESSIBLE. THE SITE’S TITLE, “STEMINISMS” REFERS TO DIFFERENT VARIETIES OF FEMINIST THINKING BUT THE SITE FOCUSES ON INTERSECTIONAL PRACTICES. WE HAVE DESIGNED THIS SITE USING FEMINIST TENETS TO SERVE BOTH ACADEMIC AUDIENCES AND ENTHUSIASTS. WE USE A PEER-REVIEWED CROWDSOURCE PROCESS TO GATHER SOURCES THAT ALLOWS ANYONE THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONTRIBUTE AS A RESEARCHER.
