This is a follow-up article, after one providing a historically-well-informed look based in Soviet experiences.<p>I don't know if the following is real, but I clipped it the other day from an online comment:<p>“Glaciers, Gender & Science, a Feminist Glaciology Framework for Global Environmental Change Research”
---
“Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change. However, the relationships among gender, science, & glaciers, particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge remain understudied. This paper thus proposes a feminist glaciology framework with four key components: 1. knowledge producers 2. gendered science & knowledge 3. systems of scientific domination & 4. alternative representations of glaciers merging feminist post-colonial science studies & feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, & epistemiologies in dynamic social ecological systems, thereby leading to more just & equitable science & human / ice interactions.”<p>To me, what is more ominous (but related) is explicit <i>political tests</i> even for would-be STEM professors.
