McCombs Ballrooms

Professor Haraway earned a Ph.D. from the Biology Department at Yale in 1972 for an interdisciplinary dissertation on the functions of metaphor in shaping research in developmental biology in the twentieth century. After teaching in Women's Studies and General Science at the University of Hawaii, she went on to Johns Hopkins University, and is now professor and former chair of the influential History of Consciousness Program at University of California-Santa Cruz. In September 2000, Haraway was awarded the highest honor given by the Society for Social Studies of Science, the J.D. Bernal Award, for lifetime contributions to the field. Her seminal work, Simians, Cyborgs, and Women: The Reinvention of Nature has become the authoritative text in theorizing the politics of the post-human, the cyborg, the techno-mythological ideal and its promised utopia(s). Her most recent work is The Companion Species Manifesto.
