Sex and Scientific Inquiry

University of Chicago Press Journals, 1987

From "The Scientist" newspaper
Feminists Ask, Is Science Sexless? Science has been regarded traditionally as sexless, and therefore removed from individual and institutional biases that may influence less rigorous, more interpretive scholarly fields.

Fortunately, Professor Davidson has managed to collect insightful essays on Foucault by his mentors and peers. These essays can be divided into two sets: ...

Intimacy

1 review

University of Chicago Press Journals, 2000

I wanted to like this book
But shocking does not equal interesting, avant garde, culturally relevant, or worthy of discussion. I can't wait for the S&M craze to be over -- it is marginal because it's NOT ALL THAT FUN! Erotic Vomiting? Just because one can do something doesn't mean one should. And the same thing goes for the Kipnis article on adultery. The author starts out by saying "Well, everyone is doing it" and ...
