Once imagined as a global commons of scientific cooperation and cosmic discovery, space is increasingly framed as a ‘warfighting domain’, fuelled by (para)militarism, privatisation and patriarchy. It is concentrating wealth and power in the private sector, dominated by a ‘broligarchy’ of space entrepreneurs obsessed with starships and galatic conquest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"c0071\"\u003eElise Stephenson led a world-first research study of gender and diversity in space, involving more than 70 countries. In \u003ci\u003eSpace XX\u003c\/i\u003e, she unpacks the findings and speaks with almost 1000 pioneering women, men, trans and non-binary people, from astronauts to engineers to ethicists – including Australia’s first female astronaut, Katherine Bennell-Pegg, and Space Agent One, Megan Clark. She reveals a story of inequality, exclusion and denigration of women in STEM. And she imagines better ways forward, including practical, evidence-based ideas that allow all humanity to flourish, informed by First Nations, feminist and futures thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-block-key=\"d48ip\"\u003eBack in the 1960s, a group of elite American women pilots excelled in astronaut training – but their training was abandoned, and so the Moon landing became ‘one small step for \u003ci\u003eman\u003c\/i\u003e’. Sixty years later, it was announced that no woman would fly in \u003ci\u003eArtemis III\u003c\/i\u003e, a critical voyage in the ambition to return humanity to the Moon. Compelling and urgent, \u003ci\u003eSpace XX\u003c\/i\u003e exposes the stakes of our extraterrestrial trajectory and argues that a more inclusive future can – and must – be fought for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Monash University Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50648427921473,"sku":"9781923451384","price":33.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0125\/3179\/3984\/files\/9781923451384-width-640.jpg?v=1791770694","url":"https:\/\/qagoma.store\/products\/space-xx-gender-power-and-the-new-space-race","provider":"QAGOMA Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
