General Audience Summary This project will support participation of US scholars in the international conference, "Science and Power, Science as Power," the 7th International Conference of the European Society for the History of Science, to be held at Charles University in Prague, Czech Republic. The goal of the conference is to bring international scholars together to advance scholarly efforts concerning two intertwining themes, how the nature of science and the nature of power have shifted historically, and how the relationship between science and power as itself changed over time. The outcomes of this conference will include promotion of international intellectual interchange, scholarship, and broad dissemination. The grant will promote US scholars' contributions in this exploration, with particular attention to supporting graduate students and independent scholars. Technical Summary The grant will support eight US participants including three PhD students, an independent scholar, junior scholars, and scholars from underrepresented groups (including women). All of the participants and the principal investigator are scheduled to present in sessions at the conference. The conference theme focusing on power is intended to attract scholars from underrepresented groups in the fields of History of Science, Technology, and Medicine; this is particularly so for those who are situated in the European "periphery." With the cooperation of the international Commission on Women and Gender Studies, which is independent of European Society for History of Science, two conference sessions focusing on women, gender and science have successfully been included on the program, and several of the US participants are indeed participating in those sessions.

本项目将资助美国学者参加在捷克共和国布拉格查理大学举行的欧洲科学史学会第七届国际会议“科学与权力，科学即权力”。会议的目标是将国际学者聚集在一起，推进关于两个相互交织的主题的学术努力，即科学的性质和权力的性质如何在历史上发生变化，以及科学与权力之间的关系本身如何随着时间的推移而变化。本次会议的成果将包括促进国际知识交流、学术研究和广泛传播。这笔赠款将促进美国学者在这一探索中的贡献，特别注意支持研究生和独立学者。该赠款将支持8名美国参与者，包括3名博士生，1名独立学者，初级学者和来自代表性不足群体（包括女性）的学者。所有与会者和主要研究者都将出席会议。会议主题聚焦于权力，旨在吸引科学史、技术史和医学史领域代表性不足的群体的学者，尤其是那些位于欧洲“边缘”的学者。“在独立于欧洲科学史学会的国际妇女和性别研究委员会的合作下，两个以妇女、性别和科学为重点的会议已成功列入该方案，几位美国与会者确实参加了这些会议。
