WGST 350 Q Feminist Eco-Science & Technology Workshop - 3 credits

This is a practice-based, theory-driven course where students design and build feminist technologies and implement them in local environmental monitoring projects. Throughout this course we construct and reconstruct what it means to do science, who can do science, and where science happens. Students in the course gain an understanding of feminism, feminist approaches to science and technology, and how to apply feminist values to research methods and the design of technological artifacts. This course draws upon multiple lenses and disciplines, including science and technology studies, women’s and gender studies, anthropology, geography, and ecology. Creativity and thinking outside of the box are highly encouraged.
Semester(s) Offered: Fall, Spring
