Sandra Harding

Sandra Harding is a prominent scholar in feminist epistemology and ethics, focusing on how gender influences knowledge production and the practice of science. She argues that traditional science often reflects male perspectives, leading to biased conclusions. Harding promotes the idea of "strong objectivity," suggesting that incorporating diverse perspectives, especially from marginalized groups, enhances objectivity in research. In Science and Technology Studies (STS), she examines the social contexts of scientific practices, advocating for a critical approach that recognizes how power dynamics shape knowledge and technology. Her work encourages a more inclusive understanding of truth and ethics in science.
