U.S.-Australian Joint Seminar: Gender, Science, and Technology; Melbourne, Australia; June 1993

该奖项将资助八名美国与会者参加美国和澳大利亚关于性别、科学和技术的联合研讨会。研讨会的联合组织者是哈佛大学社会学系的Joan H.Fujimura博士和墨尔本大学的Ann Dugdale博士，她是墨尔本大学科学史和科学哲学的讲师。研讨会将于1993年6月26日至7月1日在墨尔本举行，由美澳合作科学计划主办。研讨会将侧重于对性别、科学和技术之间相互作用的历史和社会分析。将把相当大的注意力放在阐明具体的案例研究上，在这些案例研究中，已经制定了分析性别对科学技术知识和实践的影响的方法。通过在其社会、文化、认识论和历史背景下研究科学和技术，强调性别作为形成科学和技术专门知识的一个变量的作用，与会者应作出分析，以促进旨在实现科学和技术领域的机会和公平目标的政策。本次研讨会由澳大利亚工业、技术和商业部(DITAC)共同资助。

This award will support the travel of eight U.S. participants to a joint U.S.-Australia seminar on gender, science and technology. The seminar co-organizers are Dr. Joan H. Fujimura from the Department of Sociology at Harvard University and Dr. Ann Dugdale from the University of Melbourne where she is a Lecturer in the History and Philosophy of Science. The seminar will take place in Melbourne between June 26 and July 1, 1993 under the auspices of the U.S.-Australia Cooperative Science Program. The seminar will focus on the historical and social analysis of interactions among gender, science and technology. Considerable attention will be directed toward elucidating specific case studies in which methodologies have been developed for analyzing the influence of gender on scientific and technological knowledge and practice. Through the study of science and technology in their social, cultural, epistemological and historical contexts, highlighting the role of gender as one variable shaping scientific and technical expertise, the participants should contribute analyses that will stimulate policies directed at achieving access and equity goals in scientific and technical fields. This seminar is being co-funded by the Australian Department of Industry, Technology and Commerce (DITAC).
