Status Updates From The Science Question in Fem...

The content is deeply critical and interesting in its emancipatory framework. It’s relevant today in MANY ways. Some of the language/terms and framing has changed in intersectional feminist discourses now, but there’s a lot of terms in this 80’s book that is still newer to the dominant discourse! Some of the writing is challenging for me, but overall it’s a solid book, especially for a white author.

I’m stuck going real slow in these early-middle chapters. I’m planning to push through though!

This book was published in 1986 and the writer, Sandra Harding, speaks to the ways race, class, and imperialism are inextricably connected, and ways these systems shape science. She cites many equity studies and brings in critical and essential questions. I am grateful for her work and the work mentioned of many others’, but I’m astounded by the continued relevance of these [intersectional] feminist critiques.
