Gender, objectivity, and the interpretation of biological knowledge.

Overview

Keller brought physics, biology, and the history and philosophy of science into conversation with feminist inquiry. Reflections on Gender and Science examines gendered assumptions within scientific ideals of objectivity. Her study of Barbara McClintock, A Feeling for the Organism, explores the relationship between research practice and discovery. These works offer an entry into feminist STS and the study of how scientific understanding is shaped.
