Exam fever?

As misleading as the title might sound, I am here, fit as a fiddle,writing these words on the eve of my statistics mid-term exam. Somebody (I can't remember the name) has rightly said that the purpose of exams is not to test how much one has memorized;but to test how much one has learned to solve problem(s). Having come from an educational culture where I spent most of my life mugging up just about everything in text books, I am so looking forward to this new (at least for me) system in the west. An open-book exam. No more rote learning and cramming over text books. I can sleep with a light head tonight :)

How women ended up bleeding in the cattle-shed.

I recently happened to read an interesting blog post  (DO READ IT) , by a friend, on the origin of  Chaupadi pratha in Nepal.  He argued how some "smart-minds" tried to rule over the rest of the "not-so-smart" people in our society by creating a set of rules which ultimately had women at the receiving end. His arguments were very reasonable and convincing. However, I didn't want to entirely blame it on the "smart-minds" that created these rules. In fact, deep down I believe that the followers, the "not-so-smart " lot, were too dumb to come out of their dumbness, their blind faiths and primitive minds. In this post, I have tried to explore the science behind this practice.  Chaupadi pratha   is a system in which a woman is kept away from the house (kitchen- in case of urban societies probably due to limited space/money to construct a separate house); and is instead forced to stay inside a cattle shed during her menstruation. During thi...

Defining objectivity through a feminist lens.

What sets feminist research apart from research in mainstream positivist science? In this blog I will explore epistemological issues involved in conducting feminist research. In the interest of brevity, I will focus on feminist objectivity. Positivistic research paradigm views scientific inquiry as a rational activity and therefore the term “objectivity” indicates an absolute, perspective-neutral, view of the world. The positivistic notion adopts a dualistic approach in contrasting objectivity with subjectivity. Subjectivity is viewed as allowing attachment of individual or group interpretations while generating knowledge, which lends bias to the process of inquiry. In simple words, objectivity is defined as “the view from nowhere”. Rationality and neutrality are two important aspects of objectivity. This definition of objectivity has been criticized by different feminist epistemologies. One common criticism leveled against this concept by all feminist philosophers of sc...

Random thoughts on a cold autumn afternoon.

Sometimes you find no purpose in life. No strong motivation to hold on to your existence. Outside the window, summer has shut its door on your face and you don't like the ever transient autumn clouds. Winter is far but too scary even in imagination. Why in winter, does the tree disown its pretty leaves? To create a sorry spectacle for onlookers passing by? You would rather cling on to summer, lush with love. But all you have left is the last of its sunshine coursing your veins. You hate to admit it but you don't like impermanence, the ultimate truth of life. Sometimes you get carried away in your train of thoughts. To worlds that never existed, and deep green oceans that never ceased producing giant waves. There you permit your thoughts to rise and settle, without any restraint, just like the waves in the ocean. But you tell yourself not to indulge it, not to give into it, for you are not allowed to follow your thoughts or invite them. You need to be like the green o...
