Science and Democracy Network Workshop, Cambridge, MA, July 2004

这笔赠款为参加将在马萨诸塞州剑桥市哈佛大学肯尼迪政府学院举行的科学与民主系列年度研讨会的第三次研讨会的与会者提供旅费支持。研讨会的主要目标是：(1)提高科学与民主科学技术研究（S&amp；TS）的学术水平；(2)培养年轻的S&amp；TS学者更有效地参与决策过程和公共事务。讲习班通过以下方式推进这些目标：(a)促进关于科学和技术的民主指导、行为和使用的学术研究；(b)提高参与者研究的质量和传播；(c)将科学和技术的规范和政治分析同邻近学科的工作更密切地联系起来；(d)向政策行为者传达s&s&ts的观点，并为解决社会问题作出贡献；(e)建立一个由对科学技术的民主治理感兴趣的学者和实践者组成的国际网络。研讨会将围绕三个核心主题：制度、公民身份和参与、代表和交流，并为批判性知识交流、综合和跨学科接触提供机会。该讲习班的更广泛影响包括培训年轻专业人员、促进国家和国际科学交流以及建立一个改进的公共政策知识库。参加研讨会的青年学者将受益于交流机会、对方法和理论问题的审视，以及与资深学者、科学家和政策实践者的接触。研讨会将突出对美国和国际社会具有重要意义的政策问题，并促进跨学科的全球学者网络之间的对话。科学社会研究学会（Society for Social Studies of Science, 4S）是一个国际性的跨学科学会，将共同主办这次研讨会。参与者将从不同的专业团体中招募，包括欧洲科学与技术研究协会、美国政治科学协会、科学史学会和技术史学会等。一个网站将宣传讲习班并提供有关其成果的信息。重要的结果将通过4S杂志和通讯以及酌情在其他场所传播。

This grant provides travel support for participants in the third of a series of annual workshops on Science and Democracy, to be held in Cambridge, Massachusetts at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government. The workshop's primary goals are to (1) improve scholarship in science and technology studies (S&TS) on science and democracy, and (2) train younger S&TS scholars to participate more effectively in decision processes and public affairs. The workshop advances these objectives by (a) promoting scholarship on the democratic steering, conduct, and uses of science and technology; (b) improving the quality and dissemination of participants' research; (c) connecting the normative and political analysis of science and technology more closely to work in adjacent disciplines; (d) communicating perspectives from S&TS to policy actors and contributing to social problem-solving; and (e) creating an international network of scholars and practitioners interested in the democratic governance of science and technology. The workshop will focus around three core themes of institutions, citizenship and participation, and representation and communication and provide opportunities for critical intellectual exchange, synthesis, and cross-disciplinary contact. The workshop's broader impacts include the training of young professionals, fostering national and international scientific communication, and building an improved knowledge base for public policy. Young scholars participating in the workshop will benefit from networking opportunities, scrutiny of methodological and theoretical issues, and engagement with senior scholars, scientists, and policy practitioners. The workshop will highlight policy issues of importance to the United States and the global community and promote dialogue among an interdisciplinary, worldwide network of scholars. The Society for Social Studies of Science (4S), an international and interdisciplinary society, will co-sponsor the workshop. Participants will be recruited from a diverse array of professional communities, including the European Association for Studies of Science and Technology, the American Political Science Association, History of Science Society, and Society for History of Technology, among others. A website will publicize the workshop and provide information about its outcomes. Important results will be disseminated through 4S journals and newsletters and in other venues as appropriate.
