Biotechnologies and the view of the human body
Management: PD. Dr Luise Berthe-Corti, Prof. Dr Ilse Dröge-Modelmog
In this specialisation, the gender-specific dimension of technology culture in our society was developed in combination with social science and natural science research. This took place both in the context of research projects and in courses. It was based on findings from biological and technical research, as currently discussed in gender research. Through the co-operation of natural and social sciences, it was possible to develop a connection between the reception of technology culture and the understanding of biology and medicine in society.
