The place where I come from...is a small town. Coalfields of the Appalachian Mountains

You will be wanting to read my excellent essay, 'Suzy the Computer' vs. 'Dr. Sexy': What's a Geek Girl to Do When She Wants to Get Laid? in She's Such a Geek! Women Write About Science, Technology, and Other Nerdy Stuff.

If you have not yet figured out why you shoud not be using terms like "hard science" and "soft skills", then you absolutely need to read Telling Stories About Engineering: Group Dynamics and Resistance to Diversity in NWSA Journal v. 16 No. 1, 2004 (Re)Gendering Science Fields.

You should also read They Blinded Me With Science: Misuse and Misunderstanding of Biological Theory, an excellent critique of Thornhill and Palmer's nonsense about rape as an evolutionary strategy. You can find it in Burack and Josephson's must-read tome, Fundamental Differences: Feminists Talk Back to Social Conservatives.

What I'm Reading This Week

Category: Why Aren't You Reading This?
Posted on: October 24, 2006 9:30 AM, by Zuska

I'm reading two books at the moment (in addition to the five or so others I've started and gotten halfway through and not finished...well, they'll always be waiting for me to come back...someday...). The first is Sisters in Science: Conversations With Black Women Scientists on Race, Gender, and Their Passion for Science, by Diann Jordan, Purdue University Press.

The second is Exposing Men: The Science and Politics of Male Reproduction by Cynthia R. Daniels, Oxford University Press.

Just from the introductions, both books promise an exceptionally good read. I promise you a review of each.

I'll also be attending the Frontiers in Education conference this coming weekend in San Diego. Mr. Zuska is coming along, for the golf, not the conference. It's the ideal vacation for the two of us. We'll spend a few days doing some stuff together, too. I hope to do a bit of blogging from the conference. The schedule looks quite meaty. Or quite vegetably, if you are a vegan. If any of you are heading out there, do look me up at the conference! Unless you are a crabby person. Then don't look me up.
