MODERATED BY:

The Very Rev. Alan Jones

Ask children to draw a picture of a scientist, and studies show that they will almost always draw a man. Our common belief about the world of science is that it is based on "factual" and objective evidence, but some now argue that the sciences have been driven by hidden sexual politics which must be changed. Ecofeminist Carolyn Merchant and best-selling author Theodore Roszak discuss how to break the macho grasp of modern science.
