Diploma. 1973
Helen received her Phd in Philosophy in 1973 from The Johns Hopkins University. I think its safe to say that is outstanding to not only graduate in 1973 when only 26 percent of the population did, but only 9.6 percent were woman according to statistic.com. Without her I don't think the "feminist" side of philosophy would be taken as serious. Dcosta, Malcolm. "Ethics in Science."

Period: to
1973-2006.
Helen Longino graduated with a Phd in 1973 from the Johns Hopkins University. From there she went on to build the awareness of the science community to look at things from different angles, socially and non sexually. Winning multiple awards for books written to expose the way science philosophers have been critiquing science the wrong way and shining a light on the things they left in the dark. To this day she still teaches and does seminars, continuing to spread the word. -
Science as Social Knowledge 1990.
Helen wrote the book Science as a social knowledge with he goal to argue that science is a social practice and not an objective practice. She thinks science is built on the norms and values within a community. "Longino, Helen." Feminist Philosophies A-Z, Nancy McHugh, Edinburgh University Press, 1st edition, 2007.

The Fate of Knowledge. 2002.
Helen won the Robert K. Merton Proffessional Award for best book from science, knowledge, and Technology. This to me backs up her importance to the philosophy of Science field because the book is about how we view scientific information. "Longino, Helen."

Scientific Pluralism.
In this book different philosophers touch on what pluralism is to them and how it is important to science. Helen's chapter focuses on how four studies on behavior have been criticized. They are genetics, developmental theories, neurophysiology and anatomy. She focuses on aggression and sexual orientation specifically. For what I have learned so far this is huge to understanding paradigms. Kellert, Stephen., et al. Scientific Pluralism. University of Minnesota Press, 2006. -
Helen Longino: Perspectives and Pluralities
In this video she is a guest in a classroom discussing how research perspectives changes our understanding of scientific knowledge. To me this is all about how paradigms are built and how we need to prepare when reading or listening to any information not just scientific information. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=631gObE7ctA "Helen Longino: Perspectives and Pluralities."
