In this course, the idea of scientific �truth� will be evaluated to see how it changes at different times and different places concerning gender. In addition, ideas about technological progress, and what it means in terms of gender, will be studied. The course will start by looking at the current fields of science and engineering, and how women and men see themselves as practicing scientists, and how gender disparities affect the production of science and technology. Next, we will analyze how social elements influence the ways that scientific facts are derived, and how notions of gender become fixed into data collection. Finally, the course concludes with a look at the built environment, and how technologies of everyday life influence gender identity. Restriction(s): Restricted to Undergrad - Urbana-Champaign.
