Gendered Innovations: Enhancing Excellence in Science & Technology
Londa Schiebinger*ABSTRACT. How can we harness the creative power of sex, gender, and inter-sectional analysis for discovery and innovation? As a historian of science, I founded Gendered Innovations in 2009. Today it is a global enterprise. This paper discusses what gendered innovations is, how it works, its methods and case studies. Gendered Innovations was developed through interdisciplinary collaborations involving over 220 experts from across the United States, Europe, Canada, and Asia. Major funders include the European Commission, the U.S. National Science Foundation, and Stanford University. For late-breaking news on research in this area, join the Gendered Innovations listserv.
