Ain't I a Scientist?
Talk
3.0 hrs
November 24, 2019 2:30 pm Sunday
Feminism(s) and Sciences have for a long time not spoken to each other. We shall talk about the need to evaluate sciences in feminist frameworks and about the need to understand sciences in a feminist context. As neuroscientists afflicted by our oppressions in terms of gender and caste, we shall speak about our journeys as both scientists and feminists -- how what makes us feminist is also what makes us scientists.
