Could the French postmodern philosopher, Michel Foucault or American Gender theorist, Judith Butler provide us with arguments for the value of viewpoint diversity? For increasing the number of conservative faculty members on college campuses? Alice Dreger believes so.
This blog, written by Alice, a Heterodox Academy Advisory Council Member and the author of four books, most notably, Galileo’s Middle Finger, is an exquisite reflection on one academic feminist’s journey into and through the “science wars” - a divide between those who thought science could obtain objective truth and those who thought truth was a social-construction - and the lessons that she learned in the process. Her piece is called, “Could Feminism (Again) Provide an Argument for More Conservatives?”
