A Study of Academic Societies' Policies for Women Researchers : From Acceptance to Empowering.

1970年代初，美国的许多学术团体成立了妇女委员会，其目标是调查和支持与一般专业妇女和学科妇女有关的问题和议程。本研究以历史学、心理学、教育学等学术团体为个案，探讨这些妇女委员会提出的赋予妇女研究人员权力的政策和学术团体的变革。特别是，本研究试图回答以下相关的研究问题：1）妇女委员会的发起人是谁？妇女委员会成立的直接原因是什么？2)各委员会认为对促进研究活动中的两性平等至关重要的主要议程和问题是什么？3)如果人们开始承认妇女既是研究的主体又是研究的对象，那么可以开展哪些支助活动？

In the early 1970s, many academic societies in the United States launched women's committees, whose objectives were to investigate and support issues and agendas related to women in the profession in general and in women in the academic disciplines. This research project, taking academic societies of history, psychology, and education as the case studies, explores both policies proposed by these women's committees that empowered women researchers and transformation of the academic societies. In particular, this study tries to answer the following related research questions : 1) Who was the key person in launching the women's committees and what was the direct cause for establishing the women's committees? 2) What were the main agendas and issues that the committees thought critical to promote gender equity in research activities? 3) What support activities were possible if one began to recognize women as both the subjects and objects of research?
