Reading for Tuesday

We are reading Emily Martin, “The Egg and the Sperm: How Science has Constructed a Romance Based on Stereotypical Male/Female Roles.”

The Emily Martin article is available through the databases MRC has paid for. Getting the reading is an exercise in using the article databases.
Go to the library’s website (protip: type “library” into the address bar of any computer on campus), http://library.mtroyal.ca/

From there, choose “Articles” from the left-hand menu.

Scroll down the page to the green links.

Click “JSTOR” – this will take you to the JSTOR database. If you are doing this from home, you will be asked for your student ID and password, which is the same one you use to log in on campus.

In the search field, enter: “emily martin” and egg and sperm
exactly like that, with the quotes.

The article we are reading comes up as #3 with this search. Click on the title to get the full text of the article, or PDF to get a more easily printable version.
