SPRINGERBRIEFS IN SOCIOLOGY CLIMATE TECHNOLOG...

This book is the first to undertake a gendered analysis of geoengineering and alternative
energy sources. Are either of these technologies sufficiently attendant to gender issues? Do
they incorporate feminist values as articulated by the renowned social philosopher Helen
Longino  such as empirical adequacy  novelty  heterogeneity  complexity and applicability to
human needs? The overarching argument in this book contends that  while mitigation strategies
like solar and wind energy go much further to meet feminist objectives and virtues 
geoengineering is not consistent with the values of justice as articulated in Longino's
feminist approach to science. This book provides a novel  feminist argument in support of
pursuing alternative energy in the place of geoengineering. It provides an invaluable
contribution for academics and students working in the areas of gender  science and climate
change as well as policy makers interested in innovative ways of taking up climate change
mitigation and gender.
