Who produces scientific knowledge and why it matters?

Date: October 21, 12:00–13:30
Location: SR 3/37, Victor-Franz-Hess-Haus, (Ion Physics, 3rd floor, the "glass box") | Online participation is also possible.
Target audience: Researchers

Who participates in science—and does it matter for the knowledge science produces?

In her talk, Daria Jadreškić will explore the connections between gender representation, scientific knowledge production, technological innovation, and the social contexts in which science takes place, with a particular focus on physics. Drawing on research from Science and Technology Studies and philosophy of science, the talk invites us to think about gender and diversity not only in terms of who does science, but also in relation to how scientific knowledge is produced.

Feel free to bring your own lunch and enjoy it during the talk.

Registration is kindly requested: barbara.denicolo@uibk.ac.at

For those joining online, the link will be sent to registered participants shortly before the event.
