Institution:

Merrimack College

Subject:

Description:

The focus of this seminar will be on the interrelationship between women, science and society. There will be some historical background which will follow science and women for about 3000 years. The emphasis will be on discovering the effect of changes in society on the evolution of both science and the role of women in science. The scientific method will be discussed and questioned. Finally, students will research an individual woman scientist or the current problem of the leaking pipeline (why do women who study science drop out at every step of the educational and career ladders?)
