Guest Talk – Professor Donad Opitz, DePaul University, USA – Sealing-Wax and String: How Everyday Things Carried Gender into the Physical Laboratory
How was the ‘sociomaterial’ culture of experimental physics gendered historically? How did the gendering of laboratory materials draw on everyday practices? This talk focuses on everyday and physics laboratory contexts in which practitioners utilized commonplace, domestic tools like sealing-wax and string, precisely during a period in which laboratories and their technologies grew in scale and sophistication.
