Gender, Technoscience and Law

This course examines the cultural contexts of science and technology, especially as they relate to issues of gender and the law. In what ways does the powerful framework of the law intersect with technoscience? How are these intersections gendered, and conversely, how are gendered subjects constituted by the institutional realms of technoscience and law? To explore these questions, we examine a variety of topics including legal and scientific understandings of intersex; gendered and racialized aspects of biomedical research; and the gendered dynamics of pharmaceutical marketing.
