| In this paper, we report on research based on our work with feminist projects in science, run in the city of Coventry, UK. Our approach to working with women's groups on science projects was to "start from woman's lives"; understanding how difference women perceived science and technology was thus central to the projects. Among the communities involved were Asian Muslim women, whose perceptions and understandings of science form the bais of this paper. Many of the points discussed by these Muslim women were concerns that other women often express - about ethical dilemmas in relation to genetic engineering, for example. But a particular theme was the ways in which they sought to locate knowledge in relation to their understandings of Islamic teaching. We discuss this theme in connection with efforts to promote the "public understanding of science". | |
