ABSTRACT
Institutional, and disciplinary, division is very strong at Johns Hopkins, and this dissuades easy collaborations and fluent intellectual exchanges among schools and disciplines. Many women scientists and engineers, particularly those who have successful careers at an institution like Johns Hopkins, think that obstacles related to gender discrimination are all but things of the past, even if not so distant a past. Students have continued to seek her advice and subsequently some have enrolled in related courses, others decided to take courses in the women’s studies program, and several engineering students arranged to continue studying feminism, gender, and science for another semester by enrolling in an independent reading course. Stories like the continue to inspire her desire to both teach and learn from her students and sustain her belief in the necessity of developing more courses aimed at examining the intersections of gender, culture and science as part of the core education in all science and engineering programs.
