This is an award under the Career Advancement Award program for women scientists and engineers. It is a study of class conflict over American education at the turn of the century. The award will enable the researcher to reorient her work toward qualitative and archival work on the social influences on American education. The project will examine a variety of newspaper, archival, and other sources in order to identify the contending groups trying to influence the direction of American education in several regions between 1880 and 1920. The project is designed to test the hypothesis that only those social groups that can draw on pre-existing organizations can translate their interests and claims into changes in the educational system. This project will contribute important new perspectives on the social roots of the politics that shaped the American educational system in the twentieth century. In addition to the scientific gains to be achieved by the research, this award will materially assist a very capable young researcher prepare for a more broad-ranging research career, thereby contributing to the strengthening of the national base of women scientists and engineers.

这是职业促进奖计划下的一个奖项，颁发给女性科学家和工程师。这是对世纪之交美国教育问题上的阶级冲突的研究。该奖项将使这位研究人员能够将她的工作重新定位为关于社会对美国教育的影响的定性和档案工作。该项目将研究各种报纸、档案和其他来源，以确定在1880年至1920年期间试图影响美国几个地区教育方向的竞争团体。该项目旨在检验这样一个假设，即只有那些能够利用现有组织的社会团体才能将他们的利益和主张转化为教育系统的变化。这个项目将对塑造二十世纪美国教育制度的政治的社会根源提供重要的新视角。除了这项研究将取得的科学成果外，该奖项还将大大帮助一位非常有能力的年轻研究人员为更广泛的研究事业做准备，从而为加强国家女科学家和工程师的基础做出贡献。
