Come to the Rutgers Revolutionary for 250 Years: Day of Revolutionary Thinking Lecture with speaker Dr. Sandra Harding!

Dr. Sandra Harding, Distinguished Research Professor in the Departments of Education and Gender Studies at UCLA, will deliver a Rutgers 250 Fellow lecture for the Day of Revolutionary Thinking Event at Rutgers on November 10, 2016 from 1:00 – 3:30 in the Schonberg Room of the Ludwig Global Village Living Learning Center in Jameson Quad on Douglass Campus. Dr. Harding’s world-renowned work on objectivity in science which takes into account class and gender aspects will be the basis of her talk entitled “Sciences from Below: The New Proper Scientific Self” in which she will present alternatives to the idea of a disembodied, decontextualized observer and contrast this concept with an analysis of the multiple knowing self, the researcher in her research world, and the community that knows.
