STSS 4560 - Gender, Science, and Technology


“Sex” is the biological distinction between being male and female. “Gender” is the social construction of masculinity and femininity. The purpose of this course is to explore if, and if so, how, science and technology reciprocally contribute to and are shaped by gender ideals and images. We use gender as a tool for critical thinking about such topics as studies of sex differences, women in science and engineering, the environment, and war and peace.
