VIDEO - Women, knowledge and academic institutions: a Paduan debate three-hundred years later

Taking inspiration from the three-hundredth anniversary of a seminal conference that took place at the Accademia dei Ricovrati in Padua in 1723, in which the debated topic was whether women ought to be allowed to cultivate the sciences and the arts and whether they should be given access to scientific institutions, the international meeting “Women, knowledge, and academic institutions: a Paduan debate three hundred years later” tried to update the debate about the relationship between women and science.

Two intense days were attended by prominent guests from the Italian and international academic world, including Rebecca Messbarger, Londa Schiebinger, Giovannella Baggio, Anne-Sophie Godfroy, who discussed how and in which way women’s participation in the production of knowledge is a source of innovation and contributes to the construction of a more equitable and equal society and science.
