"Science and gender: perspectives from the history of science" by Clara Florensa to celebrate the 11F: International Day of Women and Girls in Science

Abstract:

Clara Florensa is BSc in Biology and in Physics by the University of Barcelona and Master and PhD in History of Science by the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Her work has focused on the interactions between science, ideology and politics. Her case-studies, set in the Francoist dictatorship and the Cold War, are examples of the co-construction of science, culture and ideology. This work has led her to study the construction of ignorance and invisibility, a field deeply indebted to the gender studies of science.
