JINS 368 - Women and Science This seminar explores two facets of women and science: the roles women have played historically in science and the issues facing contemporary women in science careers. The achievements of notable women in science, particularly Nobel Prize Winners, are examined and discussed. The lives of these women are examined from historic, cultural, and scientific viewpoints. Contemporary women working in science will address the class. Students will also conduct an interview project of working women in science.
