- Description
- In this book David Stamos wants to question whether and to what extent evolutionary biology shines light on the big questions debated in the humanities and social sciences.The main theme in the book is the debate between evolutionary explanations and what has come to be known as the Standard Social Science Model. This model is a way of looking at human nature that is commonly found in sociology, behaviorism in psychology, cultural anthropology, Marxism, women's studies, and gay studies. Stamos examines topics of race, sex, gender, the nature of language, religion, ethics, knowledge, consciousness and ultimately, the meaning of life from different perspectives.

- Description
- Repo shows that gender is not originally a feminist term, but emerged from the study of intersex and transsexual persons in the fields of sexology and psychology in the1950s and 1960s. Prior to the 1950s gender was used to refer to various types of any number of phenomena. In the mid-twentieth century, gender shifted from being a nominator of types to designating the sexual order of things. Over the last sixty years, the notion of gender has become an entire field of knowledge. Feminists took up the term in the 1970s to challenge biological determinism. Gender has also become a key variable in social scientific surveys of different socio-political phenomena like voting, representation, employment, salaries, and parental leave decisions. Repo analyzes the strategies and tactics of power involved in the use of 'gender' in sexology and psychology, and subsequently its reversal and counter-deployment by feminists in the 1970s and 1980s. It critiques the emergence of gender in demographic science and the implications of this genealogy for feminist theory and politics today.

- Description
- This volume explores the interactions between gender and scientific research. It examines the ways scientists have researched gender throughout history, the influence of those results on society's perceptions of women, and the impact of those findings on the scientific community and on women, women scientists, and women's rights movements., The book is divided into two major sections, chronological and thematic. The articles in the chronological section highlight changes in time through historical eras and are international in scope. The format alternates between sociohistoric accounts and biographical essays listing and describing influential women in the field of science. The thematic section is divided into six subcategories and contains articles on the individual disciplines of science, aspects of human behavior, institutions, discrimination, and philosophical and theoretical critiques concerning women and science. Examples of articles in this section: the brain, mental illness, personality, hormones, menopause, homosexuality, race, nature/nurture, education, motherhood, religion, universities, professional societies, women scientists as leaders, and Nobel laureates. Other examples include: Feminist philosophy of science: Biologists who study gender/feminism: Historians of science who focus on feminism: Primatologists who focus on females/gender: Ecofeminism: Race, postcolonial gender, and science: Feminist science studies: Women's health movement: and Science fiction.

- Description
- Tussen het feminisme en de biologische wetenschappen heeft het nooit geboterd. Er zit volgens feministen nogal wat vrouwenhaat verborgen in evolutionaire verklaringen van menselijk sociaal gedrag. Evolutionaire wetenschappers verwijten feministen dat zij, door aan te nemen dat gender-identiteit geheel sociaal geconstrueerd is, antiwetenschappelijk te werk gaan. Vandermassen behandelt de geschiedenis van feministische kritiek op het darwinistische denkkader en ook de geschiedenis van de 'biofobie' onder feministen. Zij komt tot de conclusie dat een goed begrepen darwinistisch perspectief op de menselijke natuur en op de seksen noodzakelijk is om de grote vraagstukken binnen het feminisme op te lossen. Verkorte en licht bewerkte versie van: Who's afraid of Charles Darwin? : Debating feminism and evolutionary theory. - Oxford, 2005

- Description
- In this collection of essays an international group of feminist thinkers challenges the assumptions and norms that have previously defined studies about the body. They insist on the importance of materiality in feminist theory, and in other fields where the body and nature collide, such as philosophy, feminist theory, cultural studies, and science studies. The essays grapple with topics such as the material reality of race, the significance of sexual difference, the impact of disability experience, and the complex interaction between nature and culture in traumatic events such as Hurricane Katrina.

- Description
- Turning her attention to the gut and depression, Wilson asks what methodological innovations become possible when feminist theory isn’t so instinctively antibiological. She examines research on anti-depressants, placebos, transference, phantasy, eating disorders and suicidality with two goals in mind: to show how pharmaceutical data can be useful for feminist theory and to address the necessary role of aggression in feminist politics. This book challenge to feminist theory is that it would be more powerful if it could attend to biological data and tolerate its own capacity for harm.
