S03E17 | Intersectionality in Science: Interview with Prof Sarah Richardson

What do power, society, and ideology have to do with science? PhDiva Liz Wayne interviews Associate Professor Sarah Richardson, speaker at the 2017 Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics at Harvard. Professor Richardson's research uses a multidisciplinary approach to analyze how scientists understand sex and gender. In this episode, she discusses her interdisciplinary journey through history, philosophy, genetics, and feminism. Richardson challenges us to go beyond the 'Women in STEM" pipeline inclusion model. What if biology doesn't determine gender, but gender -- and other forms of difference -- can change biology? In this conversation Liz and Professor Richardson talk about making science and the teaching of science better. More on Sarah Richardson here: http://scholar.harvard.edu/srichard/home
