I wish every sci was required to learn something about feminist and postcolonial phil of sci. We might have solved quantum gravity by now.

@IBJIYONGI@OtherSociology I just tried to look those up and came away completely confused. Is there an explainer for scientists?
.@yonatanzunger @IBJIYONGI For colonialism in science case study, see my analysis extending on @DNLee5's work: http://othersociologist.com/2015/03/28/rethinking-the-narrative-of-mars-colonisation/ …

@OtherSociology@IBJIYONGI@DNLee5 Thanks! The sources I found online may as well have been in Greek. -
@OtherSociology (Hope you don't mind a follow-up question) -
@OtherSociology The article makes very reasonable points, but if you asked me to classify it, I would have said "political philosophy." -
@OtherSociology Does that mean that postcol etc. phil of sci is about how science is used, representation in science, etc., then? -
@OtherSociology (I often hear phil of sci ~ epistemology, paradigms, etc., and couldn't figure out what a postcol version of that would be) -
.
@yonatanzunger Equity can improve w/ understanding of how race,gender, sexuality& other dynamics impact how we think about and "do" science -
@OtherSociology Got it. Wow, that cleared a lot up. Thank you! -
@yonatanzunger You're welcome!
