INTRO - INVITED LECTURES

I N T R O D U C T I O N

Professor Fausto-Sterling has spoken widely throughout the United States and abroad about topics within her realm of expertise and has considerable experience as a workshop leader on college campuses interested in integrating the insights of feminist scholarship into the science curriculum.

She strongly advocates the idea that understanding science is of central importance to feminist students and scholars and that understanding feminist insights into science is essential to science students and researchers.

Topics typically addressed in her talks are:

  • Rethinking the nature/nurture divide
  • Women in Science/Gender & Science
  • Intersexuality, homosexuality & the construction of heterosexuality
  • Race, gender & science

Although Professor Fausto-Sterling's lab research on reproductive variation in the planarian Dugesia tigrina is coming to a close, she has assembled a number of useful resources on the subject in Fields > Biology.

Professor Fausto-Sterling books speaking engagements 8 months to 1.5 years in advance and accepts only two per semester. For a copy of her speaking contract or her full CV, write to Anne Fausto-Sterling.
