> THE SCIENCE AND POLITICS OF THE SEARCH FOR SEX DIFFERENCES
>
> A Special Issue of the NWSA Journal
>
> Anne Fausto-Sterling, along with others in feminist science studies,
> argues that women's studies faculty and feminists in the sciences need to
> join forces in order to develop fully multidisciplinary women's studies
> theory and research.  This year 2000 special issue is intended to feature
> articles that foster feminist analyses of the scientific evidence for the
> sex differences from biology, neurobiology, behavior genetics,
> evolutionary psychology, and sociobiology, as well as the medical
> sciences.  Essays should be accessible, and of interest, to the general
> multidisciplinary audience of NWSA Journal.
>
> While research on sex differences may produce important new insights into
> the biology of women's bodies, it can also make deeply troubling
> contributions to essentialist understandings of women's subordination.
> We invite manuscripts that consider the implications of sex difference
> research from any field or perspective within women's studies, including
> but not limited to feminist science studies, lesbian studies,
> cross-cultural studies, standpoint theory, gender theory, as well as
> philosophical, historical, psychological, sociological, or
> language-focused research.  We are also interested in research that
> explores the interconnections among biological determinist approaches and
> any of the key categories of societal "difference" as these relate to
> women.  We strongly encourage manuscripts that are a product of
> collaboration among colleagues across the humanities/social sciences and
> sciences disciplinary divide.
