Feds Spent $412,930 Studying ‘Relationship Between Gender and Glaciers

[Cynic]

The National Science Foundation has spent more than $400,000 on a study that published scientific results on the “relationship between gender and glaciers.”

The paper “Glaciers, gender, and science,” published in January 2016, concluded that “ice is not just ice,” urging scientists to take a “feminist political ecology and feminist postcolonial” approach when they study melting ice caps and climate change.

“Glaciers are key icons of climate change and global environmental change,” the paper by Mark Carey, a professor at the University of Oregon, explained. “However, the relationships among gender, science, and glaciers–particularly related to epistemological questions about the production of glaciological knowledge – remain understudied.”

“Merging feminist postcolonial science studies and feminist political ecology, the feminist glaciology framework generates robust analysis of gender, power, and epistemologies in dynamic social-ecological systems, thereby leading to more just and equitable science and human-ice interactions,” the paper said.

I'm failing to see your point.

Your source not that I question the validity but the bias is a rag.

You've never thought about women and glaciers?

I ain't mad, one thing about cacs, they'll spend a billion tax dollars studying a grain of sand because they understand that everything on this planet has a purpose.

I can see the logic in it...trying to nail down if there's a relation between concern for the environment and gender

Aye I said I see the logic, doesn't mean I support the study
