Harding to argue feminist views
By Bob Waite
Emerald Reporter
Does taking a feminist standpoint increase the
objectivity of knowledge?
Internationally known and award-winning edu
educator, philosopher, author, editor and lecturer
Sandra Harding will argue that feminists are
more objective during a lecture today at 3:30 in
the EMU Fir Room.
Hegel, the philosopher, suggested the slave's
knowledge is as valuable as the master's. Karl
Marx argued the worker's contribution is as im
portant as the man who owns the factory.
Harding, a University of Delaware philosophy
professor and director of women's studies, argues
that the woman's perspective is as important as
the man's: and her question of gender and objec
tivity is a question that affects everyone today,
said Miriam Johnson. University sociology pro
fessor.
Author of The Science Question in Feminism.
Harding has lectured in the United States. Central
America, throughout Europe and in Asia.
Harding's book earned the Jessie iicrnard
Award of the American Sociological Association
in 1987. and was chosen by The Socialist Review
as one of the five best books of 1986.
Harding's current book. Whose Science?
Whose Knowledge? Thinking fmm Women's
Lives, is slated to be published next year
Harding will deliver her lecture. "Starting
Thought from Women's Lives: Eight Resources
for Maximizing Objectivity." as a guest of the
Center for the Study of Women in Society.
Harding prepared the lecture for the American
Sociological Association's 1990 annual meeting,
but was unable to attend. She will present It. for
the first time, at the University. Johnson said.
Harding will deliver another lecture. "Intuition
and Method: Outsider verses Insider Perspec
tives" in conjunction with an interdisciplinary
symposium Saturday at 9:30 a m. in Gerlinger
Lounge.
Harding is an editorial staff member of numer
ous journals, including The Women's Review of
Books. Signs and Hypatia: A Feminist fournal of
