STS6401 Paper Week 12

Response to readings in STS 6401.

Longino joins the rejection of feminist content, noting the impossibility of identifying a monolithic cognitive framework, but I see alternatives to that other than focusing only on process and practice. (pp. 46-47) The view that women can only do a subset of science or substandard work is not properly feminist, true, but to me that doesn't mean that feminism cannot inform the content itself; to me it merely focuses on the assignation of certain content to certain sexes. The content that all genders of people practice could be better informed by feminist critique.
