Below is a link to an article by Helen Longino, a philosopher of science, Can There Be a Feminist Science? The article has some relevance to some of the things we have been discussing by way of Kuhn and Bazerman, that is, where do social, contextual values intersect with the constitutive values of scientific inquiry.

I happened to catch some of this program on NOVA last night, and it is timely to us as it deals with how science is or is not able to resolve competing theories. This episode of NOVA profiles the question, What is the origin of flight? and Are birds dinosaurs?
