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.

6th Scientiae Is Up!

Category: Why Aren't You Reading This?
Posted on: May 17, 2007 11:59 AM, by Zuska

The 6th Scientiae Carnival is up over at Sciencewoman's pad. The topic is "mothers and others, those who influenced us along the way" but the collected posts are not limited to this topic. Scienceowoman has put together a very interesting mix of some truly thought-provoking posts. As always, the richness of writing by women scientists and engineers continues to delight me.

This post by Female Science Professor on a new professorship for a woman in engineering in Switzerland sparked a lively discussion in the comments. And I very much liked this post by Jokerine on gender coding in talk about bonds in chemistry.

There's more where that came from; do go read!
