“…They noted that conditions for women had substantially improved in the biological sciences and expressed concern that the number of women in the physical sciences and of ethnic minorities (except for Asian Americans) across all science fields remained low. In short, scientists' appreciation for women and ethnic minorities' contributions and their understanding of barriers to participation resonated with those expressed by science studies scholars in our Conceptual Framework (see, in particular, Harding, 1991;Kohlstedt & Longino, 1997).…”

This study examined the perceptions and self-reported practices of 18 scientists participating in a yearlong seminar series designed to explore issues of gender and ethnicity in science. Scientists and seminar were part of the Promoting Women and Scientific Literacy project, a curriculum transformation and professional development initiative undertaken by science, science education, and women's studies faculty at their university. Researchers treated participating scientists as critical friends able to bring clarity to and raise questions about conceptions of inclusion in science education. Through questionnaires and semistructured interviews, we explored their (a) rationales for differential student success in undergraduate science education; (b) self-reports of ways they structure, teach, and assess courses to promote inclusion; and (c) views of androcentric and ethnocentric bias in science. Statistical analysis of questionnaires yielded few differences in scientists' views and reported practices by sex or across time. Qualitative analysis of interviews offered insight into how scientists can help address the problem of women and ethnic minorities in science education; constraints encountered in attempts to implement pedagogical and curricular innovations; and areas of consensus and debate across scientists and science studies scholars' descriptions of science. From our findings, we provided recommendations for other professional developers working with scientists to promote excellence and equity in undergraduate science education.

“…The literature of women in and women/gender and sciences is bridged by a small body of work that incorporates feminist critiques of science into an examination of the culture of science, thus operationalizing feminist science studies (Kohlstedt and Longino 1997). There are many macro-and microstudies of laboratory life, research practices, professional development, publication and citation patterns, and so on within mainstream science studies.…”

“…Today, the literature is vast, and leading feminist science studies scholars such as Fausto-Sterling, Keller, and Haraway are well-known public intellectuals whose writings have become canonical in social, historical, and philosophical studies of science. Four special issues anchor my account of the mid-1990s and early 2000s: the 1995 Synthese issue on "Feminism and Science," edited by Lynn Hankinson Nelson; the 1997 Osiris issue on "Women, Gender, and Science: New Directions," edited by Sally Gregory Kohlstedt and Longino;the 2003 Signs issue, "Gender and Science: New Issues"; and the 2004 Hypatia issue, "Feminist Science Studies," edited by Nelson and Wylie. The picture is filled out by several readers and anthologies published over the last fifteen years: Feminism and Science (Ed.…”
