Gender and Schooling

I have a bit of a personal experience in Haraway's discussion of women's integrated circuit in schools. A big part of my high school was Career and Technical Education. In this program there were many different training programs including Auto Repair, Cosmetology, and TV Productions. Each had a distinct group that was scooped into the classes. Auto Repair and TV productions were marketed to males of all races while Cosmetology was marketed toward black females. As a woman in the TV Productions program, I felt very out of place. Haraway's point about socialization of genders and races in the sciences still today permeates the sciences as well as other classes.
