  • Building a Feminist Philosophy of Cognitive Neuroscience
    Building a Feminist Philosophy of Cognitive Neuroscience A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Philosophy of the College of Arts and Sciences by Vanessa A. Bentley M.A. University of Cincinnati September 2015 Committee Chair: Robert A. Skipper, Jr., Ph.D. i Dissertation Abstract Feminist philosophers of science identify sexist and androcentric science and develop alternate practices to address science’s empirical limitations and its contributions to social oppression. However, some scholars have questioned the impact of feminist epistemology on scientific practice. In my dissertation, I advance the project of feminist philosophy of science by articulating a method to connect it to scientific practice. I develop a feminist philosophy of cognitive neuroscience using feminist standpoint empiricism that is informed by the specifics of practice. In chapter one, I establish the gap between feminist theory and feminist practice of science. I claim that feminist philosophy of science has the tools to effect change in scientific practice, but it must be articulated in a way that engages scientists. In order to make it relevant to scientists, feminist philosophy of science must be tailored to the specifics of a particular discipline of science. I defend feminist standpoint empiricism (Intemann 2010) for its potential to connect to scientific practice, and I identify the considerations for translating feminist standpoint empiricism to a specific science. In chapter two, I introduce the theory of sex/gender differences in the brain, the two neuroimaging case studies, and my critical approach: assessing the research on empirical grounds as well as through the feminist standpoint.

    S ummer Math Skills Practice Enrichment - Summer 2018 All Upper School Students are expected to spend about 10 hours doing math practice and review throughout the summer. For all math classes, Precalculus Advanced and below: Westtown has subscribed to an online service, IXL, to give each student strong practice problems with immediate feedback. Each student who will be doing summer work has been assigned a username and a password in IXL. (www.IXL.com). ​ ​ New students to Westtown have the following username and password. ● Username: FirstNameLastName403 ● Password: MathRocks Note: The username uses the form of your name that is used for your Westtown School email address (without the dot). For example: susanwaterhouse403 Rising 9th grade students and all returning students who have a Westtown School IXL account already, should use the username and password assigned in the past. We will send this information out as as email near the beginning of the summer. Contact Susan Waterhouse with questions about your password/ login. 85-100% proficiency should be achieved in each skill area. Students are welcome to work for longer and to focus on particular skills as needed. It is very important that students log into their Westtown IXL account each time they work on these assignments. All students are also encouraged to engage in math enrichment activities. Click here for a list of ​ ​ ideas.
