"In this paper I tackle the gulf between feminist epistemologies of science and the
practice of the natural sciences. I begin by considering the feminist epistemologies
of science, focusing in particular on standpoint theories and objectivity in the work
of Harding, Haraway, Longino, and Nelson, and identifying the problems in applying
these theories in the natural sciences. I then move on to consider some of the views
expressed by feminists with experience of practice in the natural sciences. I argue
that this gives them a privileged standpoint from which to understand what a feminist
natural science might mean, and use their views to elaborate my critique of the feminist
epistemologies of science. I end by exploring practical strategies for moving toward
a feminist natural science, emphasising diversity amongst practitioners; unpacking
established conceptual categories in science (especially gender); elaborating the
role of subjectivity in guiding research questions and analysing data; and developing
links between the different disciplines of science and with the local community."
