260032 Feminist Perspectives on Science (S) (WiSe 2025/2026)
Contents, comment
-
This course explores how feminist perspectives have reshaped our understanding of science, knowledge, and representation. Through key texts in feminist philosophy of science and contemporary case studies, students will engage with questions about situated knowledge, values and objectivity, and social epistemology. The course examines how values and power relations shape scientific inquiry, how epistemic injustice manifests in research and practice, and how feminist methods offer alternative approaches to scientific and philosophical investigation. The course also considers how women and gender minorities are represented in scientific and medical knowledge, and the historical place of women as producers of knowledge in the natural sciences and the humanities. The course instruction, readings, and assessment are in English.
