Description
In the seminar this workshop is based on, we asked the question: how does gender shape science? While the first perception might be that sciences such as physics are independent of their researchers and consecutive genders, we looked at multiple ways gender interacts with the process of knowledge acquisition, starting with the questions scientists choose to ask (or not to ask) to the way of communicating scientific findings. We found that science reflects the gendered norms and values of the society that produces and consumes it.
Throughout the workshop, we look at two student projects from the respective seminar which examine the impact of gender on students‘ lives within the community of physics students at FAU and explore the (un)importance of the way professors at FAU dress and which implications dress choices have in such an academic context.
