项目摘要

'Words from the WISE: women in science 1830-2012' is a research network which aims to stimulate cross-disciplinary (both academic and non-academic) debate of the position of women in science today. Although WISE usually refers to Women in Science and Engineering, in the context of this project we also include technology and mathematics (which with Science and Engineering make up the STEM subjects) and medicine. The network will be composed of thirty or so participants who can bring a wide breadth of knowledge to the table, be they academic historians interested in how women first broke into the male enclave of science, to sociologists and policy makers concerned that women scientists still have a long way to go to achieve parity in representation at all levels. The aim is to generate new ideas concerning the application of an historical understanding of female scientists' experience of science, particularly through learned societies, to contemporary imbalances, with regard to participation of women in science, persistence in scientific careers and achievement. The network will examine what might be learned through a better understanding of female scientists' historical interactions with learned societies, such as the Royal Society and Royal Institution, the Royal Society of Chemistry, the Institute for Engineering and Technology, or the Royal College of Physicians, to name a few. It is, after all, through these prestigious organisations that the fruits of imagination, argument, creativity, discovery and curiosity have largely been published, celebrated and rewarded, yet the history of women's interaction with them has not been fully explored and documented. Our proposed network will bring participants together to discuss the theme from several perspectives, in a series of UK-based workshops. Participants will bring expertise in historical and archival research, the use of biographical and autobiographical sources (including oral history), and social science research methods. By sharing cross disciplinary methodologies we will explore what each group might learn from the other in a wider history of how gender affects authority, expertise, trust and engagement in science. A two-day conference is planned, to accumulate and share views from international participants to enable a cross-border and cross-cultural exchange of ideas.The international perspective of this programme is reflected in the presence of scholars from Europe and the United States on the project's steering committee.The key scientific figures, institutions and research questions identified during the network debates will form the basis of a large scale archival research proposal. If the position of women in science is to be improved (and current experience suggests that large pools of talent are being lost to science with a concomitant effect on the competitiveness of the British economy), such research is essential to understanding why it is happening and how to correct it.The project will also produce more immediate outcomes which will have an impact on archival policies of the learned societies which participate, and a number of other short term outcomes. These are discussed in detail in the Impact Summary.This is a collaborative project led by Kingston University with support from The Royal Society, The Rothschild Archive, London and Liverpool University. Individuals from a range of educational, public and professional institutions have already agreed to participate in the management of the project and in the network itself.

“来自WISE的话语：1830-2012年科学中的女性”是一个研究网络，旨在激发关于当今女性在科学中的地位的跨学科（学术和非学术）辩论。虽然WISE通常指的是科学和工程领域的女性，但在这个项目的背景下，我们还包括技术和数学（与科学和工程一起构成STEM学科）和医学。这个网络将由30个左右的参与者组成，他们可以带来广泛的知识，他们可能是对女性如何首次闯入男性科学领地感兴趣的学术历史学家，也可能是担心女性科学家要在所有级别实现代表平等还有很长的路要走的社会学家和政策制定者。其目的是产生关于将对女科学家的科学经验的历史理解，特别是通过学术团体，应用于当代的不平衡、妇女参与科学、坚持从事科学事业和取得成就等方面的新想法。该网络将通过更好地了解女性科学家与学术团体（如英国皇家学会和皇家学会、英国皇家化学学会、英国工程技术研究所或英国皇家内科医学院）的历史互动，来研究可能学到的东西。毕竟，正是通过这些著名的组织，想象力、争论、创造力、发现和好奇心的成果在很大程度上得到了发表、庆祝和奖励，但女性与它们互动的历史却没有得到充分的探索和记录。我们提议的网络将把参与者聚集在一起，在一系列以英国为基地的研讨会上从几个角度讨论这一主题。参与者将带来历史和档案研究、传记和自传资料（包括口述历史）的使用以及社会科学研究方法方面的专业知识。通过分享跨学科的方法，我们将探索在性别如何影响权威、专业知识、信任和科学参与的更广泛的历史中，每个群体可以从另一个群体身上学到什么。计划举行为期两天的会议，收集和分享国际参与者的意见，以实现跨国界和跨文化的思想交流。来自欧洲和美国的学者参加了该项目的指导委员会，这反映了该方案的国际前景。在网络辩论中确定的关键科学人物、机构和研究问题将构成大规模档案研究提案的基础。如果要提高女性在科学领域的地位（目前的经验表明，大量的人才正在流失到科学领域，这对英国经济的竞争力产生了随之而来的影响），这样的研究对于理解为什么会发生这种情况以及如何纠正这种情况至关重要。该项目还将产生更直接的成果，这将对参与的学术团体的档案政策产生影响，并产生一些其他短期成果。这些在影响摘要中有详细的讨论。这是一个由金斯顿大学领导的合作项目，得到了皇家学会、罗斯柴尔德档案馆、伦敦和利物浦大学的支持。来自一系列教育、公共和专业机构的个人已经同意参与项目的管理和网络本身。
