About this episode
In this lecture, I will begin by recounting some of Haraway’s background and intellectual context which I think is very instructive for helping us understand Haraway’s theories. I will then proceed to explain the origin of her own philosophical method, especially as it merges in her challenge to what she deems to be thinly ‘objectivist’ accounts of scientific knowledge. From there, I will then explain the alternative relational ontology which Haraway develops as a curative to more restrictive models of scientific and technological objectivity.
