Originally trained as a plant biologist, she writes about social and cultural aspects of science. She advocates for activist science that creates knowledge about the natural world while being aware of its embeddedness in society and culture.[4] She co-edited Making Threats: Biofears and Environmental Anxieties (2005) and Feminist Science Studies: A New Generation (2001). Her book Ghost Stories for Darwin (2014) was chosen as an Outstanding Academic Title in 2015 and won the Ludwik Fleck Prize for science and technology studies in 2016.[5]

Early life and education

Banu Subramaniam grew up in India[4] and received a baccalaureate degree from Stella Maris College at the University of Madras.[7][5] She then attended Duke University,[6] where she studied evolutionary plant biology, receiving a Ph.D. in zoology/genetics.[10] Her Ph.D. thesis was Maintenance of the flower color polymorphism at the W locus in the common morning glory, Ipomoea purpurea (1994).[1][7] Interested in the social and cultural aspects of science as they related to experimental biology,[5] she also earned her graduate certification in women's studies.[8]

Career

After completing her Ph.D., Subramaniam held positions at the University of California, Irvine, the University of Arizona, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she directed a program for Women in Science.[5][7] In 2000, she received a National Science Foundation grant to study soil communities and their effects on invasive plant species.[9] In 2001, Banu Subramaniam joined the department of women's studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst as an assistant professor.[10] She has also been a visiting scholar at Northeastern University (2014-2015).[11][5]

She has co-edited the books Making Threats: Biofears and Environmental Anxieties (2005)[12] and Feminist Science Studies: A New Generation (2001).[13][14]

Her essay "Spectacles of Belonging: (Un)documenting Citizenship in a Multispecies World" draws similarities between the ways in which environmentalists and ecologists talk about foreign plant and animal species and the political rhetoric around human immigration.[15]

She is also working on the interactions of religious nationalism and science in India, which she has described as "archaic modernity".[16][17][18][19]

Awards

Subramaniam received the 2016 Ludwik Fleck Prize for science and technology studies for Ghost Stories for Darwin: The Science of Variation and the Politics of Diversity (2014).[19] Ghost Stories for Darwin was also selected by Current Reviews for Academic Libraries as an Outstanding Academic Title in 2015.[20] This "radically interdisciplinary feminist treatment" examines the experimental practices of science through the histories of eugenics and genetics, and the ways in which historical ideas have informed our thinking about difference and diversity.[20]
