Feminist science and technology studies (f … Feminist science and technology studies (feminist STS) is a theoretical subfield of science and technology studies (STS) which explores how gender interacts with science and technology. The field emerged in the early 1980s alongside other relativist theories of STS which rejected the dominance of technological determinism, proposing that reality is multiple rather than fixed and prioritizing situated knowledges over scientific objectivity. Feminist STS's material-semiotic theory evolved to display a complex understanding of gender and technology relationships by the 2000s, notable scholars producing feminist critiques of scientific knowledge and the design and use of technologies. The co-constructive relationship between gender and technology contributed to feminist STS's rejection of binary gender roles by the twenty-first century, the field's framework expanding to incorporate principles of feminist technoscience and queer theory amidst widespread adoption of the internet. Historical areas of research include policy development, reproduction, pharmaceuticals, design and use of consumer products, and engineering cultures, researchers exploring ways gender creates and is created by individuals or groups interacting with non-human actors. This relationship of co-construction is prioritized by feminist STS scholars to emphasize that neither gender nor technology and science exist prior to their interaction, but instead, reality exists in the social and material interactions, producing these concepts as a result. Establishing this material-semiotic framework involved a decades-long process of internal negotiation between feminist STS researchers, binary gender presentations of past STS research undergoing detailed critique to reframe these understandings to reflect the field's stance on gender not as fixed, but as multiple and flexible. Key concepts of feminist STS include material-semiotics, situated knowledges, and social constructivism. The discipline has contributed material-semiotic theory to contemporary STS research but has received criticism for the inability to universalize concepts in its research, limiting the field's impact.its research, limiting the field's impact.
