Abstract

The relationship between gender and science is a pressing issue simply because women have been historically excluded from science, but because of the deep interpenetration between our cultural construction of gender, and our naming of science. In academic disciplines, the question of method is crucial in developing models of research and theories of explanation. Writing about methods in multiple and diverse academic disciplines with their distinct stories of origin and distinct histories of development is a challenge. An attempt to understand what method means across the silos of the natural/physical sciences, the social/human sciences, and the humanities is ridden with difficulties of registering – and translating – conceptual languages specifically developed by and for each discipline. In times of specialisations and super-specialisations, it is rare for practitioners to dwell upon common questions, questions that are relevant within disciplinary boundaries and those that transcend disciplinary boundaries.
