Patriarchal institutions, often hostile to women and gender, feminists have challenged both with great vigor. This course examines these contestations using a comparative analysis of the United States and India. The founders of the United States imagined secularism as a separation of church and state--religion being relegated to the private, and to non-state actors.

In this course we will explore the interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary field of feminist science studies. We will pay particular attention to feminist cultural studies of science, addressing the means by which scientific practices, knowledge, and technologies, as well as popular images of science are shaped by local and global dynamics, established and emerging forms of media, and forms of knowledge governance. In what ways do norms and lived experiences of body, gender, sexuality, race, and citizenship shape science?
