The next #STEMMinistbc meeting for Auburn/Opelika will be on Sunday September 8th! We will be reading Invisible Women by @CCriadoPerez!

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

As we read, please tag @STEMBook_AU as you process the content and your own understanding of white supremacy and racism. Discussions will be ongoing throughout the month and we will have an official online discussion Monday June 29. #stemministbc

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

For the month of June we will be reading and working through Me and White Supremacy by Layla F. Saad. This book is designed as a 28 day workbook to help those of us with white privilege explore and unpack white supremacy.

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

Please join us this month as we read, examine, learn, unlearn, and take ownership of the very structures that we benefit from. As a group we found it was important to have tough conversations about racism and continue to work to be anti-racist.

Hi y’all! We will be taking a brief hiatus during the month of May while @ArielStee3641 works on her comprehensive exams! We’ll see you all again in June!

Q6: for those of you that read "Inferior" how do the conclusions made in this book support the conclusions and discussion made in "Inferior" and vice versa?

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

Q5: How much of an impact does gendered socialization play in how we interpret brain function, social function/activity, and the roles men/boys and women/girls play on society?

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

Q4b: Referring back to question 4, what are the consequences of those myths today and how can we challenge or change them? What evidence is there that disproves these theories?

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

Q4: How have the myths about the relationship between brain size and intelligence or brain complexity and ability perpetuated the myth that women are inferior or are only fit for domestic responsibilities and are not meant to be leaders been perpetuated throughout time?

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

@laura_j_parson So true! Often gender and sex gets conflated or overtly ignored in conversations about gendered constructs. You can't have one without the other, but if you also don't recognize how they're different and how they interact then its hard to have a productive conversation!

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

Q2: The book opens up with a discussion around sex and gender, gender/sex, sex/gender and what those terms mean and how they are used throughout the book. What is sex and what is gender? How are they different/similar? Why does society use sex and gender interchangeably?

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

Q3: How has science been used to marginalize women? How did brain scientists and psychologists use science to justify women's inferior status in society?

[Auburn STEMMinist Book Club @STEMBook_AU]

Q1: This month we read Gina Rippon's book "Gender and Our Brains." What parts of the book surprised you or were interesting to you? What things did you not know about before reading this book? #stemministbc
