This book is the first to undertake a gendered analysis of
geoengineering and alternative energy sources. Are either of these
technologies sufficiently attendant to gender issues? Do they
incorporate feminist values as articulated by the renowned social
philosopher Helen Longino, such as empirical adequacy, novelty,
heterogeneity, complexity and applicability to human needs? The
overarching argument in this book contends that, while mitigation
strategies like solar and wind energy go much further to meet
feminist objectives and virtues, geoengineering is not consistent
with the values of justice as articulated in Longino's feminist
approach to science. This book provides a novel, feminist argument
in support of pursuing alternative energy in the place of
geoengineering. It provides an invaluable contribution for
academics and students working in the areas of gender, science and
climate change as well as policy makers interested in innovative
ways of taking up climate change mitigation and gender.
