“Has Feminism Changed Science?”
Fishbowl discussion exerciseSlide2
Fishbowl discussion
4 people sit at the inner table (“fishbowl”). 1 chair remains open.
People outside the “fishbowl” listen and make
notes on what they see and hear (how the discussion in the bowl is going).
At any point, one person from outside the bowl can come in and sit in the empty chair. One person already in the bowl must leave at that point.
A record of participants and the quality of their participation will be
kept by the professor.
Next time, part of the class will be spent debriefing the activity—be prepared to analyze how the discussion went:
What kind of questions were asked? Did discussion get “deep” enough, or remain superficial? What did NOT get discussed that you feel should have been? How did people handle hearing and responding to different perspectives?Slide3
My summary, for comparison
Londa
Shiebinger
, in
“Has Feminism Changed Science?,” asserts that feminism, as a sociopolitical movement, has had some effect on the practice of science. She first notes progress for women in science and areas where sexism remains, then distinguishes women’s being in science from feminism’s affecting science, and lastly proposes government-funded “mission-oriented” science initiatives.Slide4
