Welcome

Call for papers for a Special Issue of GST: “Gender and Intersectionality in Engineering”

Editors: Carol Morris, Alice Moncaster

This Special Issue of the “International Journal of Gender, Science and Technology” will focus on the issue of gender, including gender intersecting with other diversity (intersectionality), in engineering. Published in 2019 to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the UK Women’s Engineering Society, we are interested in publishing both academic papers and industry or education case studies. In so doing we hope to bring together the widest perspectives.

We have a number of new titles available for review:

A Lady Mathematician in this Strange Universe, Yvonne Choquet-Bruhat.

Mothers at Work: Who Opts Out?, Liana Christin Landivar.

Knowing Her Place. Positioning women in science, Valerie Bevan and Caroline Gatrell.

Bioinsecurities. Disease interventions, empire and the government of species, Neel Ahuja.

Radiation Brain Moms and Citizen Scientists. The gender politics of food contamination after Fukushima, Aya Hirata Kimura.

Ageing and technology. Perspectives from the social sciences, Emma Dominguez-Rue and Linda Nierling (eds.)

The Exquisite Corpse of Asian America. Biopolitics, biosociality and posthuman ecologies, Rachel C. Lee.

Brilliant Imperfection. Grappling with cure, Eli Clare.

Epigenetic Landscapes. Drawings as metaphor, Susan Merrill Squier.

Plastic Bodies. Sex hormones and menstrual suppression in Brazil, Emilia Sanabria.
