Class Conflict Over American Education at the Turn of the Century

这是为女性科学家和工程师设立的职业发展奖项目下的一个奖项。它是对世纪之交美国教育中的阶级冲突的研究。该奖项将使研究人员能够重新定位她对美国教育的社会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。该项目旨在验证一个假设，即只有那些能够利用现有组织的社会群体才能将他们的利益和要求转化为教育系统的变化。该项目将为20世纪塑造美国教育体系的政治的社会根源提供重要的新视角。除了研究将取得的科学成果外，该奖项将极大地帮助非常有能力的年轻研究人员为更广泛的研究生涯做好准备，从而为加强女性科学家和工程师的国家基础作出贡献。

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.
