In the book, Haraway examines evidence of a male bias in primatology (at least until relatively recently). I haven’t read it, but it looks like an interesting (and provocative) read.

In the discussion I mentioned a paper that summarized how researchers’ gender alters perspectives and can change the course of questions being pursued in a field – a nice example that has always made me wonder how much our field will change as perspectives diversify even more over time:
