项目摘要

This dissertation project explores the interaction of cultural, social, economic and political factors in the construction of the sciences. The approach is a comparative study of the neurosciences in the United States and China. The research strategy includes participant observation, interviews with neuroscientists in the U.S. and China, and content analysis of the publications of American neuroscience and Chinese brain research leaders as well as American and Chinese popular and professional sources on the images of the brain. The research explores the social and cultural values, and economic and political systems under which the research agenda for neurosciences has been set; the formation, impact and transformation of cultural concepts of the brain and gender as part of general cultural traditions and values; and the ways in which sociopolitical systems and cultural traditions affect recruitment into careers in the neurosciences and account for the differences in the research styles, priorities and methods of neuroscientists in the U.S. and China. The objectives of the dissertation are to demonstrate how the neurosciences are constructed in different value contexts by studying the field itself and the careers of its membership, and to explore the factors that may account for the differences between American and Chinese neurosciences in research agendas, recruitment patterns, and scientific careers.

本论文项目探讨了文化，社会，经济和政治因素在科学建设中的相互作用。该方法是对美国和中国神经科学的比较研究。研究策略包括参与式观察、与美国和中国神经科学家的访谈、对美国神经科学和中国脑研究领导者的出版物以及美国和中国关于大脑图像的流行和专业来源的内容分析。研究探讨了社会和文化价值观，以及经济和政治制度，在此基础上制定了神经科学研究议程;大脑和性别的文化概念的形成，影响和转变，作为一般文化传统和价值观的一部分;以及社会政治制度和文化传统影响神经科学职业招聘的方式，并解释了研究中的差异美国和中国的神经科学家的风格、优先事项和方法。本论文的目的是通过研究神经科学领域本身及其成员的职业生涯来展示神经科学是如何在不同的价值背景下构建的，并探索可能解释中美神经科学在研究议程、招聘模式和科学职业方面差异的因素。
