Özet

Exploring the Masculine Roots of Scientific Tradition: A Comparative Analysis of Two Cases from Sweden and Turkey,” Pehlivanlı-Kadayıfçı gives us insights into current discussions of gender in STEM departments in Lund University and Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey) in the wider context of STS and post-truth. The article provides a critique of the pipeline model, which focuses on increasing the number of underrepresented groups in the STEM fields without addressing privilege and questioning the objectivity of science itself. This results in the persistence of gender disparities in the physical sciences, with differences in representation, inclusion, and pay equity. Pehlivanlı bases her analysis at the backdrop of the post-truth rhetoric and anti-gender movements and highlights the significance of contextual factors in the creation of scientific knowledge.
