Those of you who were particularly interested in our discussions on January 20 of neurological research on sex/gender and brain structures may want to keep an eye out for this new book: Neurofeminism: Issues at the Intersection of Feminist Theory and Cognitive Science. It’s a collection of essays by scholars from different disciplines about how recent neuroscience research affects traditional feminist issues. (Cordelia Fine, author of Delusions of Gender, is one of the contributors.) Here is the table of contents:

  • Introduction; R.Bluhm, A.J.Jacobson & H.Maibom
  • The Politics of Pictured Reality: Locating the Object from Nowhere in fMRI; L.Meynell
  • What, If Anything, Can Neuroscience Tell Us About Gender Differences?; G.Hoffman
  • In a Different Voice?; H.Maibom

  • Hardwired for Sexism? Approaches to Sex/Gender in Neuroscience; R.M.Jordan-Young & R.I.Rumiati
  • Re-Queering the Brain; A.Kaiser & I.Dussauge
