Sandra Harding Will Speak at University of Richmond on Women, Science and Democracy

March 29, 2006

Sandra Harding, professor of social sciences and comparative education and director of the UCLA Center for the Study of Women, will speak April 6 at University of Richmond.

She will discuss “Women, Science and Democracy” at 4 p.m. in the Brown Alley Room of Weinstein Hall. The talk is open to the public at no charge. It is the last of a series sponsored by Women Involved in Living and Learning and the Women, Gender and Sexuality Studies programs.

Harding is author of nine books, most recently “Is Science Multicultural? Postcolonialism, Feminism & Epistemologies.”  Her groundbreaking work in “The Science Question in Feminism” and “Whose Science? Whose Knowledge” made these books classics in the philosophy of science.

Harding has lectured at more than 200 universities and conferences around the world. She co-edits Signs: A Journal of Women in Culture and Society, one of the most prestigious journals in women’s studies.
