Yingchen Kwok is a doctoral candidate in History and Sociology of Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Her dissertation examines how biologists employed gender norms to structure their investigation of sexual reproduction as a mechanism for generating hereditary variation between the 1880s and 1950s. She argues that this history has implications for how we conceive of the notion of diversity today. Her work has been supported by the American Philosophical Society, Indiana University Bloomington, and the Singapore Social Science Research Council.
