Timeline

1935

Sandra G. Harding (born 1935) is an American philosopher of feminist and postcolonial theory, epistemology, research methodology, and philosophy of science.

1956

Sandra Harding received her undergraduate degree from Douglass College of Rutgers University in 1956.

1973

After 12 years working as legal researcher, editor, and fifth-grade math teacher in New York City and Poughkeepsie, N.Y., she returned to graduate school and earned a doctorate from the Department of Philosophy at New York University in 1973.

1976

Harding's first university teaching job was at The Allen Center of the State University of New York at Albany, an experimental critical social sciences college which was "defunded" by the state of New York in 1976.

She then joined the Department of Philosophy at the University of Delaware, with a joint appointment to the Women's Studies Program.

1979

She was promoted to Associate Professor in 1979, and to full Professor in 1986.

1981

From 1981 until she left Delaware in 1996, she held a Joint Appointment to the Department of Sociology.

1985

She was Director of the Women's Studies Program at Delaware 1985–1991 and 1992–1993.

1986

In her 1986 book The Science Question in Feminism, Harding touched on the pervasiveness of rape and torture metaphors for the scientific method in the writings of Francis Bacon and others.

In the book, she questioned why it would not be as illuminating and honest to refer to Newton's laws as "Newton's rape manual" rather than "Newtonian mechanics".

Harding later said she regretted the statement.

This statement, among others, caused Harding's work to be controversial within certain scholarly circles.

1987

Harding has held Visiting Professor appointments at the University of Amsterdam (1987), University of Costa Rica (1990), the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology Zurich (ETH) (1987), and the Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok (1994).

1990

During the Science Wars, a debate regarding the value-neutrality of the sciences of the 1990s, her work became a main target of critics of feminist and sociological approaches.

She was criticized by mathematicians Michael Sullivan, Mary Gray, and Lenore Blum, and by the historian of science Ann Hibner Koblitz.

1994

From 1994 to 1996 she was Adjunct Professor of Philosophy and Women's Studies at UCLA on a half-time basis.

1996

She directed the UCLA Center for the Study of Women from 1996 to 2000, and co-edited Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society from 2000 to 2005.

She is currently a Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Education and Gender Studies at UCLA and a Distinguished Affiliate Professor of Philosophy at Michigan State University.

In 1996 she was appointed Director of the UCLA Center for the Study of Women, which is a research institute.

Meanwhile, since 1996 she has been a Professor in the Graduate Department of Education and the Department of Gender Studies at UCLA.

She was invited to co-edit a chapter of UNESCO's World Science Report 1996 on "The Gender Dimension of Science and Technology".

This 56-page account was the first such attempt to bring gender issues in science and technology to such a global-scale and prestigious context.

2000

She held that position until 2000.

From 2000 to 2005 she also was co-editor of Signs: Journal of Women in Culture and Society.

She has lectured at more than 300 colleges, universities, and conferences in North America as well as in Central America, Europe, Africa and Asia.

Her books, essays and book chapters have been translated into dozens of languages and reprinted in hundreds of anthologies.

Harding developed the research standard of "strong objectivity," and contributed to the articulation of standpoint methodology.

This kind of research process starts off from questions that arise in the daily lives of people in oppressed groups.

To answer such questions, it "studies up", examining the principles, practices and cultures of dominant institutions, from the design and management of which oppressed groups have been excluded.

She has also contributed to the development of feminist, anti-racist, multicultural, and postcolonial studies of the natural and social sciences, asking the extent to which paradigms like feminist empiricism are useful for promoting to goals of feminist inquiry.

She is the author or editor of many books and essays on these topics, and was one of the founders of the field of feminist epistemology.

This work has been influential in the social sciences and in women/gender studies across the disciplines.

It has helped to create new kinds of discussions about how best to relink scientific research to pro-democratic goals.

2010

She was invited to contribute a chapter to UNESCO's World Social Science Report 2010 on "Standpoint Methodologies and Epistemologies: a Logic of Scientific Inquiry for People."
