Breaking Gender Norms
Longino continues to outline problems concerning science regarding gender. Longino writes "Taking Gender Seriously in Philosophy of Science", explaining how race, gender, and social class change science as a social structure. -
The Fate of Knowledge
"In her 2002 book The Fate of Knowledge Longino again studies the social nature of scientific practice arguing that those debates in philosophy of science that seek to focus on the rational nature of science or the social nature of science are failing to understand that what we call scientific knowledge or science’s cognitive capacities are themselves social or interactive. Furthermore, Longino argues that scientific knowledge needs to be studied in its complex local contexts."
