What does gender have to do with natural sciences such as physics or biology? When closely analysing the histories, cultures, practices and contents of the natural sciences, it becomes visible that gender and diversity categories have an impact on the natural sciences: from the underrepresentation of women and the situation of minorities in the sciences to gender differences in career outcomes up to gendered constructions in scientific theories, gender and diversity categories are relevant in various contexts of science. The course introduces to approaches, concepts and methods of Gender Studies for the natural sciences. The course is aimed at students of the natural sciences, the humanities and the social sciences.
