This symposium convenes faculty and students producing work on feminist science and technology studies. The purpose of this symposium is to highlight the productive intersections of science and technology with feminist theory, anthropology, and history. Feminist theory in STS has critically engaged questions of scientific ideology, institutional power, difference, and epistemology –- attending not only to gender but also race, ethnicity, class, sexuality, ability, postcoloniality, queer theory, and more. The three guiding themes of this symposium -- Labor, Sex+Bodies, and Data -- foreground attention to gender and other structures of inequality wrought in and through technological practices.
Organized by Renée Blackburn and Mitali Thakor, doctoral candidates in the MIT Program in History, Anthropology, + STS.
