Welcome to our blog!

This blog has been created as part of a group project for a Women and Gender studies class at NCSU. Tim, Laura, Cliff, and Ryan will be making blog posts starting in early March through May.

With this blog we hope to share our thoughts and gather the opinions of readers to promote healthy discussion and awareness of the biases against women in today's STEM culture.

We will be primarily focusing on the topics that are explored weekly in class. Some of these topics include:

Science as social practice
Culture and gender
The medical construction of sexuality
Including a feminist perspective
Technology and the body
Gender, technology, and work
Changing the world: Global issues, local initiatives

We look forward to contributing to the community, as well as hearing feedback / responses from our readers!
