The Politicization of Everything: Evergreen State Offers Course ‘Weaving Feminism And Math’
20th August 2017
The class “interrogates mathematics as a field of inquiry, asking what is recognized as math and what isn’t, who had and has access to math, and what privileges it gives access to,” according to the course description. “Through a grounding in feminist critiques (from critical theory, science studies, and women-of-color feminisms), we will examine how mathematical knowledge becomes legitimized and the ways in which power structures influence what counts as knowledge.”
And for this they get credit has having studied mathematics, rather than politics.
