Conference on the Relationship of Feminist Theory to Ethicaland Value Issues in Organizational Science, October l989

科学、技术和社会研究项目支持研究影响科学和技术在其社会、政治和经济背景下的方向和使用的结构和过程。伦理与价值观研究支持研究社会、专业和个人价值观以及在科学、技术和社会的相互作用中产生的相互义务和责任。这个项目解决了电动汽车的一个非常重要的问题。科学学科中的假设是否以及如何包含未经检验的伦理和价值含义。例如，“客观性”和“主观性”等概念可能被以科学上不合理的方式使用，作为一种修辞和政治策略来推进一个有问题的假设、方法或结论。本项目利用女权主义理论和思想的新发展，为研究组织和组织行为的科学研究这些问题。包括女性主义学者、组织科学家、其他社会科学家和哲学家在内的36人将于10月19日举行为期三天的会议。1989年21日，犹他州阿尔塔洛奇。在会议之前，将分发背景文件，以便与会者能够准备好讨论组织科学中的性别假设及其对其方向和使用的伦理和价值影响。本次会议的产品预计包括已发表的论文、一本书和以下内容。在专业协会及其会议上开展活动。本项目将有助于推进组织科学中未经检验的研究假设的规范含义的专业讨论。由于组织科学希望更好地了解组织，从而提供改进组织的建议，因此这次会议可以为实现这些目标作出重要贡献。公司的调查人员很有资格；他们汇集了一份令人印象深刻的参与者名单；项目的结果可能是令人振奋和有用的。制度支持非常非常好；项目预算最为合理。因此，建议支助$18 760。

The Studies in Science, Technology and Society program supports research that examines the structures and processes that influence the direction and use of science and technology in their social, political, and economic contexts. Ethics and Values Studies supports research that examines the social, professional and individual values and mutual obligations and responsibilities that arise in interactions of science, technology and society. This project addresses a very important issue for EVS ..whether and how assumptions in scientific disciplines contain unexamined ethical and value implications. For instance, notions such as "objectivity" and "subjectivity" may be used in scientifically unjustified ways, as a rhetorical and political strategy to advance a questionable assumption, method, or conclusion. This project uses new developments in feminist theory and thought as a means to examine these issues for sciences that study organizations and organizational behavior. Thirty six people including feminist scholars, organizational scientists, other social scientists and philosophers will gather for a three day conference, October 19. 21, 1989 at Alta Lodge in Utah. Prior to the conference, background papers will be distributed so that participants can come prepared to discuss gender assumptions in organizational science and their ethical and value implications for its direction and use. Products from the conference are expected to include published papers, a book and follow.up activities in professional societies and at their meetings. This project will contribute to advancing professional discussion of normative implications of unexamined research assumptions in organizational science. Since organizational science wishes to understand organizations better, and thereby to provide advice that can improve them, this conference can make an important contribution to these ends. The co.investigators are very well qualified; they have assembled a very impressive list of participants; results from the project are likely to be stimulating and useful. Institutional support is very, very good; the project budget is most reasonable. Therefore, support in the amount of $18,760 is recommended.
