In a stimulating interchange between feminist studies and biology,
Banu Subramaniam explores how her dissertation on flower color
variation in morning glories launched her on an intellectual
odyssey that engaged the feminist studies of sciences in the
experimental practices of science by tracing the central and
critical idea of variation in biology. Subramaniam reveals the
histories of eugenics and genetics and their impact on the
metaphorical understandings of difference and diversity that
permeate common understandings of differences among people exist in
contexts that seem distant from the so-called objective hard
sciences. Journeying into interdisciplinary areas that range from
the social history of plants to speculative fiction, Subramaniam
uncovers key relationships between the life sciences, women's
studies, evolutionary and invasive biology, and the history of
ecology, and how ideas of diversity and difference emerged and
persist in each field.
