SGER: For the Record: A Workshop on Conducting Oral Histories of Science

patrick McCray，美国物理研究所“记录：口述科学历史研讨会”这个研讨会的目的是让研究生和其他可能不熟悉口述历史技术的人熟悉口述历史的工艺，以便更好地理解近代科学史。在研讨会上，讨论的目标不仅是口述历史访谈对理解现代科学实践的价值，而且还将与参与者合作，使他们在离开研讨会时掌握准备和进行科学史访谈的实际技能。研讨会的目的是容纳20-25名研究生，他们将参加科学史学会会议，计划在研讨会之后的一天。研讨会的组织者将由3 ~ 4名在与科学家和科学管理者进行口述历史访谈方面具有丰富经验的主持人和2 ~ 3名受邀的科学家、管理人员、工程师协助，他们将被邀请作为访谈对象参加。

Project AbstractSES 0342751Patrick McCray, American Institute of Physics"For the Record: A Workshop on Conducting Oral Histories of Science" The purpose for this workshop is to familiarize graduate students-and others who may be new to the technique of oral history-with the craft of conducting oral histories so to understand better the history of recent science. At the workshop, discussion will be aimed not just about the value that oral history interviews may have for understanding modern scientific practice, but also to work with participants so that they leave the workshop with hands-on skills for preparing and conducting interviews in the history of science. The aim of the workshop is to accommodate from 20-25 graduate students who will be attending the History of Science Society meeting, scheduled to follow the workshop by one day. The organizers of the workshop will be assisted by three or four facilitators who have extensive experience in all aspects of doing oral history interviews with scientists and science managers, and by two or three invited scientists, administrators, and engineers, who will be asked to participate as interview subjects.
