Situated Knowledges
Donna Haraway’s “Situated Knowledges” was written as a commentary on "The Science Question in Feminism" by Sandra Harding as well as in reply to Harding's "Successor Science". Via this paper, Haraway challenges gender roles, the concept of objectivity and illuminates the vision she had for feminist science. It was in this paper that Haraway introduces the idea of feminist version of objectivity within the world of science, which she calls "Feminist Empiricism". -
Primate Visions
In “Primate Visions: Gender, Race, and Nature in the World of Modern Science”, Haraway focused on the history of science and biology as it pertained to primate behavior. One of the points that she made was that the language used to describe sexual behavior between primates reinforce gender roles and sexism i.e. “aggressive males and receptive females” Haraway used “Primate Visions” as a tool to question societies views and boundaries on social class, race, and gender. -
