Re-engineering Female Friendly Science

Author: Sue Vilhauer Rosser
ISBN: 9780807762868

Sue Rosser's pioneering 1990 work, Female Friendly Science, introduced feminist teaching methods to math and science education and gave us a six-stage model for transforming curricula to attract and retain women in science, engineering, and mathematics programs. So successful was this new pedagogical paradigm that its reforms were assimilated into mainstream science education but, ironically, sacrificed their appeal to women in the process. Now, in Re-Engineering Female Friendly Science, Rosser revisits the feminist origins of curriculum transformation and puts the gender back in gender equity.
