prompt: Both feminist equity studies and feminist analyses of the uses of language/rhetoric and imagery identify gendered disparities in science. In their own ways, both equity studies and studies of language and imagery contend that science has been and continues to be gendered.

First, please describe the field of feminist equity studies in relation to STEM. What do equity studies, well, study? 

What are some of the typical findings of feminist equity studies – in general and with respect to STEM specifically? What are some of the historical and ongoing patterns identified in feminist equity studies? 

What are some of the potential sources/reasons that might explain the findings in feminist equity studies in relation to STEM? What variables might cause or be correlated with gender disparities in STEM?

Next, please describe the role (historically and/or currently) of gendered language and imagery in relation to science, technology, and medicine. When analysts of language and imagery contend that ‘science is gendered,’ what does this mean? 

Simply put: How is science gendered in terms of language and imagery?
