In this book John A. Weaver suggests curriculum studies scholars
need to engage more in science matters. It offers a review of
science studies writing from Ludwick Fleck and Thomas Kuhn to
Philip Mirowski. The volume includes chapters on the rhetoric of
science with a focus on the history of rhetoric and economics then
on the rhetoric of models, statistics, and data, a critique of
neoliberalism and its impact on science policy and the foundations
of democracy, Harry Collin's and Robert Evans' theory of expertise
followed by chapters on feminism with a focus on the work of Sharon
Traweek, Karen Barad, and Vinciane Despret, postcolonial thought,
with attention paid to the work of Daniela Bleichmar, Londa
Schiebinger, Judith Carney, Sylvia Wynter, Paul Gilroy, and Sandra
Harding, and a final chapter on Nietzsche's philosophy of science.
Each section is introduced by an interlude drawing on
autobiographical connections between curriculum studies and science
studies.
