Labs of Our Own

Feminist Tinkerings with Science

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Labs of Our Own demonstrates the perils and possibilities that emerge from experiments in democratizing science. The book ultimately intervenes in stale debates for and against science by arguing against uncritical excitement for democratic science and instead for critical science literacy and feminist tinkering as third ways forward.
