Survey on Current Trends in Women's Studies in Western Europe, Pan Pacific Region and South Asia

1988年9月至11月，3名调查员和3名助理访问了西德、比利时、荷兰、英国、意大利和法国的大学、学术研究和成人教育机构以及处理妇女问题的政府部委部门，以交流有关妇女研究的信息。此次走访，我们通过捐赠、购买等方式，收集到图书资料约1500种。这些材料涵盖妇女工作、母亲身份、妇女教育、女权主义理论、女权主义艺术、妇女政策和妇女历史等领域。这些材料将保存在御茶水女子大学妇女研究所（IWSO）和国家妇女教育中心（NWEC）的图书馆中，供公众使用。在访问之前，我们向西德、英国、比利时和法国从事妇女研究及相关领域的各个机构邮寄了调查问卷，要求提供有关其活动和结构的信息。我们发出了 282 份问卷，收到了 62 份答复。我们积累了大量有关妇女研究的发展和现状的信息，特别是在德国和英国。我们还在日本和西欧国家之间建立了以机构和研究人员为导向的网络。我们的研究结果将发表在 1989 年 IWSO 和 NWEC 的公报以及其他期刊和书籍上。

From September through November of 1988, 3 investigators and 3 assistants visited universities, institutions for academic research and adult education, and government ministerial sections that deal with women in West Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy, and France in order to exchage information on women's studies. During this visit we collected, through donation and purchase, books and materials extending to about 1500 titles. These materials cover such areas as Women,s Work, Motherhood, Women's Education, Feminist Theory, Feminist Art, Policy for Women, and Women's History. These materials will be maintained in the libraries of the Institute for Women's Studies, Ochanomizu University (IWSO) and the National Women's Education Centre (NWEC), and they will be available for public use. Prior to our visit, we mailed questionaires to various institutions in West Germany, the United Kingdom, Belgium and France which are engaged in Women's Studies and related fields, requesting information on their activities and structures. We sent out 282 questionairos and received 62 responses.We have accumulated a significant body of information concerning the development and current conditions of Women's Studies, especially in Germany and the United Kingdom. We have also established institutional and researcher-oriented networks between Japan and West European countries.The results of our research will be published in the bulletins of the IWSO and the NWEC in 1989 and in other journals and books.
