Writing about Lives in Science
Following discussions on scientific biography carried out over the past few decades, this book proposes a kaleidoscopic survey of the uses of biography as a tool to understand science and its context. It offers food for thought on the role played by the gender of the biographer and the biographee in the process of writing. To provide orientation in such a challenging field, some of the authors have accepted to write about their own professional experience while reflecting on the case studies they have been working on. Focusing on (auto)biography may help us to build bridges between different approaches to men and women's lives in science. The authors belong to a variety of academic and professional fields, including the history of science, anthropology, literary studies, and science journalism. The period covered spans from 1732, when Laura Bassi was the first woman to get a tenured professorship of physics, to 2009, when Elizabeth H. Blackburn and Carol W. Greider were the first women's team to have won a Nobel Prize in science.

The World of Maria Gaetana Agnesi, Mathematician of God
The fascinating true story of mathematician Maria Agnesi. She is best known for her curve, the witch of Agnesi, which appears in almost all high school and undergraduate math books.

She wrote one of the first vernacular textbooks on calculus and was appointed chair of mathematics at the university in Bologna. In later years, however, she became a prominent figure within the Catholic Enlightenment, gave up academics, and devoted herself to the poor, the sick, the hungry, and the homeless. Indeed, the life of Maria Agnesi reveals a complex and enigmatic figure...
Art dramatique et déficience intellectuelle
Cette journée-là, j'avais déposé au sol une vingtaine d'accessoires d'art dramatique : chapeaux, perruques, foulards, gants, nez de clown, sac à main, etc. La consigne était de choisir un accessoire, de le porter et de créer un nouveau personnage avec un prénom fictif, une nouvelle voix et une nouvelle démarche. Chaque personne devait se lever et se présenter à ses collègues de classe. Soudainement, Alexis se leva et alla vers les accessoires. Il prit une écharpe rouge garnie de longues franges. Il l'enroula autour de son cou, se mit très droit face à moi et déclama : " Je suis le Roi ". Puis il m'a souri. Le groupe a applaudi, surpris d'entendre Alexis parler et de le voir p...
