Intersectionality and the Culture of Science

Abstract

This chapter focuses on operationalizing the concept of “science and engineering culture” in the broader context of national cultures, in this case Chinese, and identifying the influences of national cultures on the transformation of science and engineering professions. Gender plays a key role that intersects with both national and science and engineering culture, yet it has been largely overlooked. Discussions in this chapter will shed light on how gender, nationality, class, and other issues interact with science and engineering culture.
