Plasticity and Programming: Feminism and the Epigenetic Imaginary

2017-08-17

Abstract excerpt

The new science of epigenetics has raised hopes for an embrace of greater plasticity and variation within the biology of sex, gender, and sexuality than previously appreciated. This essay describes and analyzes the integration of epigenetics research into the scientific study of core biological pathways related to sex, gender, and sexuality in the brain in the post–Human Genome Project era. Through a close reading...
