Pinker vs Spelke
On April 22, 2005, Harvard University's Mind/Brain/Behavior Initiative (MBB) held a defining debate on the public discussion that began on January 16th with the public comments by Lawrence Summers, president of Harvard, on sex differences between men and women and how they may relate to the careers of women in science.
When I delved into the issue of female representation in the sciences, in Feminists and Academia it generated some interesting comments, so as a follow up check out a recent debate between Steve Pinker and Elizabeth Spelke. Transcripts, audio, video and slides are all available at Edge
