bridges vol. 10, June 2006 / Feature Articles by Muriel Lederman Integrating the social studies of science into science education would make explicit the cultures of science, which have been revealed by historians, philosophers, sociologists, and feminist science scholars. These cultures include the institutions of science, the interaction of science and the society in which it is practiced, and the internal culture of science. This pedagogy may be a route to increasing equity in science, by giving women and members of other underrepresented groups an appreciation of the factors causing their alienation from the enterprise and the tools to change science for social justice.
