Forensic Science in Contemporary American Popular Culture : Gender, Crime, and Science
This book identifies, traces, and interrogates contemporary American culture's fascination with forensic science.It looks to the many different sites, genres, and media where the forensic has become a cultural commonplace.It turns firstly to the most visible spaces where forensic science has captured the collective imagination: crime films and television programs.In contemporary screen culture, crime is increasingly framed as an area of scientific inquiry and, even more frequently, as an area of concern for female experts.One of the central concerns of this book is the gendered nature of expert scientific knowledge, as embodied by the ubiquitous character of the female investigator.Steenberg argues that our fascination with the forensic depends on our equal fascination with (and suspicion of) women's bodies—with the bodies of the women investigating and with the bodies of the mostly female victims under investigation.

Is computer science a natural science?
Computer science is not considered a natural science, but rather a formal science. Natural sciences, such as biology, chemistry, and physics, study the natural world and its phenomena. In contrast, computer science focuses on the study of algorithms, data structures, and the design and analysis of computational systems. While computer science may draw on principles from mathematics and engineering, it is not classified as a natural science.

Who's Asking? : Native Science, Western Science, and Science Education
Analysis and case studies show that including different orientations toward the natural world makes for more effective scientific practice and science education. The answers to scientific questions depend on who's asking, because the questions asked and the answers sought reflect the cultural values and orientations of the questioner.These values and orientations are most often those of Western science.In Who's Asking?, Douglas Medin and Megan Bang argue that despite the widely held view that science is objective, value-neutral, and acultural, scientists do not shed their cultures at the laboratory or classroom door; their practices reflect their values, belief systems, and worldviews.Medin and Bang argue further that scientist diversity-the participation of researchers and educators with different cultural orientations-provides new perspectives and leads to more effective science and better science education. Medin and Bang compare Native American and European American orientations toward the natural world and apply these findings to science education.The European American model, they find, sees humans as separated from nature; the Native American model sees humans as part of a natural ecosystem.Medin and Bang then report on the development of ecologically oriented and community-based science education programs on the Menominee reservation in Wisconsin and at the American Indian Center of Chicago.Medin and Bang's novel argument for scientist diversity also has important implications for questions of minority underrepresentation in science.

Is psychology a social science or a natural science?
Psychology is considered a social science because it focuses on the study of human behavior and mental processes within social and cultural contexts. It examines how individuals interact with each other and their environment, and how these interactions influence behavior and mental processes. While psychology does incorporate elements of natural science, such as the study of brain function and neurotransmitters, its primary focus on human behavior and society places it within the realm of social science.
