Abstract

In Sciences from Below, the esteemed feminist science studies scholar Sandra Harding synthesizes modernity studies with progressive tendencies in science and technology studies to suggest how scientific and technological pursuits might be more productively linked to social justice projects around the world. Harding illuminates the idea of multiple modernities as well as the major contributions of post-Kuhnian Western, feminist, and postcolonial science studies. She explains how these schools of thought can help those seeking to implement progressive social projects refine their thinking to overcome limiting ideas about what modernity and modernization are, the objectivity of scientific knowledge, patriarchy, and Eurocentricity. She also reveals how ideas about gender and colonialism frame the conventional contrast between modernity and tradition. As she has done before, Harding points the way forward in Sciences from Below.

Abstract

De centrale vraag die de onderzoekers zich stellen is hoe het komt dat er zo'n groot verschil bestaat in de loopbaankeuzes tussen mannen en vrouwen. Zeker wat betreft de loopbanen in de wetenschappelijke en technologische beroepen. Deze laatste bieden dikwijls mooi betaalde en interessante banen aan. Vrouwen hebben dan wel terrein veroverd in de traditionele mannelijke beroepen, het zijn er nog altijd weinig die zo'n keuze maken. Ze zijn vlugger geneigd dit beroepspad te verlaten. Het is een gegeven dat de onderzoekers zowel in verschillende landen als in verschillende culturele contexten vaststellen. In de Verenigde Staten is er, mede door het daardoor ontstane tekort aan wetenschappelijk en technologisch geschoold personeel, opnieuw interesse ontstaan voor dit gegeven. Vrouwen blijken nog altijd in hun studiekeuze deze 'hardere' richtingen te mijden waardoor ze zichzelf limiteren in hun verdere loopbaan.
