Conference – Bridges between disciplines: Gender in STEM and Social Sciences
Online and Onsite (Gandía – Valencia, Spain) · September 12th- 16th, 2022 ·
The main aim of this Conference is to think about gender differences in Science(s) from an intersectional perspective, bridging the gap between what have been thought of as separate and decoupled fields of knowledge (STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics- and Social Sciences).
There are multiple forms of inequality and discrimination in Academia. But, how are these experiences of difference addressed in terms of scientific knowledge production? Are we thinking in terms of inter-disciplinary understanding and action? What are we doing in our respective disciplines? How is this affecting the science we produce?
All these questions have informed this initiative and prompted us to go further in terms of common horizons and transformative action. By bringing STEM and Social Sciences together we intend to interrogate gender and Science from a comprehensive understanding of differences and diversity.
Rather than redrawing boundaries, we aim to create a space of dialogue and encounter to rethink cross-cutting problems and taken-for-granted dichotomies. By doing so, we go beyond boundaries and binaries that we acknowledge as part of the grounds of western scientific thought.
