This project builds upon the success of a 2-year AHRC-funded research network project, 'Gender, Power and Materiality in Early Modern Europe', which raised awareness of gender in modern museological environments. The network generated a valuable dialogue between 4 university nodes (Plymouth, Lund, Leiden and Western Australia) and curators and research department at the V&A, and practice professionals at Skarhult Castle, Sweden, Museum of London, and Cultural Heritage Leiden, and previously has secured significant funding from the University of Lund and the Swedish Research Council. The follow-on funding would further enhance the existing partnership with the V&A, and allow us to work with a major new international partner, the Vasa Museum, Stockholm, which is reorganising the ways in which they think of gender in relation to their collections and museology practices. Both of the museums as well as Lund University have promised to provide match-funding for the proposed project, and see it as delivering significant wider impact in terms of knowledge exchange.As a result of workshops over the past two years in collaboration with our non-HEI partners we developed an interpretative methodology for understanding objects, exhibitions and the past through the lens of gender, power and materiality that revealed the ways in which gendered power clusters influenced decision-making in the form and function of objects. A powerful outcome of the network has been a raising of the awareness of gender (which encompasses women and men, femininities and masculinities, sexualities and identities) as an important interpretive category within the museum environment, and the role this can play in generating diverse narratives that have wider societal impact disseminated through curatorial practice, and educational and public programming in its broadest sense, as a way of stimulating changes in behaviour. We are therefore seeking to work with two international beacon institutions in order to integrate gender better into narratives of the past and present. The project the team (Daybell (PI), Norrhem (International CI), Susan Broomhall, Nadine Akkerman and Jacqueline Van Gent; at the Vasa Mirja Arnshav, Research Co-ordinator and Fred Hocker, Head of Research, and at the V&A, Joanna Norman, Head of Research, Elaine Tierney, Research Fellow, and Assistant Curators Dawn Hoskins and Zorian Clayton) would work with collaborating partners (including a network of Swedish heritage professionals led by Dr Pia Laskar, a Swedish gender historian/researcher) in order to coproduce with museum professionals gendered pathways and interpretation of the collections and permanent exhibitions at the V&A and Vasa. The project activities will have several strands: 1) To develop gendered interpretative pathways through the permanent exhibitions and collections at the V&A and Vasa by identifying and researching 10-20 objects in each museum.2) Co-production of public engagement dissemination activities and materials through a range of deliverables, including public talks, dialogue events, education packages, self-guided interpretative materials, podcasts and short film. A key aim of these activities is to reach out to new audiences defined by the partner institutions.3) Two Knowledge Exchange events in London and Stockholm with the project team and museum practice professionals (curators, cataloguers, conservators, education and outreach and public programming) at the V&A and Vasa, and other non-HEI collaborating institutions. These events have two aims: to coproduce further the gendered pathways and interpretive materials in each institution; and to facilitate knowledge exchange of the conceptual implications of gendered interpretive pathways between international institutions.4) Working with V&A, Vasa and a network of Swedish museums to produce of model of best practice to disseminate among Swedish museums and generate interntational knowledge exchange.

该项目建立在一个为期两年的ahrc资助的研究网络项目“早期现代欧洲的性别、权力和物质性”的成功基础上，该项目提高了现代博物馆环境中的性别意识。该网络在4个大学节点（普利茅斯、隆德、莱顿和西澳大利亚）、V&A博物馆的策展人和研究部门以及瑞典斯卡霍特城堡、伦敦博物馆和莱顿文化遗产的实践专业人员之间产生了宝贵的对话，之前已经从隆德大学和瑞典研究委员会获得了大量资金。后续资金将进一步加强与V&A博物馆的现有合作关系，并使我们能够与一个重要的新的国际合作伙伴，斯德哥尔摩的瓦萨博物馆合作，该博物馆正在重组他们在馆藏和博物馆学实践中对性别的思考方式。这两个博物馆和隆德大学都承诺为拟议的项目提供配套资金，并认为它在知识交流方面产生了重大的更广泛的影响。在过去两年的研讨会上，我们与非高等教育机构合作伙伴合作，开发了一种解释方法，通过性别、权力和物质性的视角来理解物体、展览和过去，揭示了性别权力集群影响物体形式和功能决策的方式。该网络的一个强大成果是提高了对性别（包括女性和男性、女性和男性、性取向和身份）的认识，将其作为博物馆环境中一个重要的解释类别，并在通过策展实践、最广泛意义上的教育和公共项目传播具有更广泛社会影响的多样化叙事中发挥作用，作为刺激行为改变的一种方式。因此，我们正在寻求与两个国际灯塔机构合作，以便将性别更好地纳入对过去和现在的叙述。项目团队(Daybell (PI), Norrhem (International CI), Susan Broomhall， Nadine Akkerman和Jacqueline Van Gent)；在Vasa Mirja Arnshav，研究协调员和Fred Hocker，研究负责人，在V&A， Joanna Norman，研究负责人，Elaine Tierney，研究员，助理策展人Dawn Hoskins和Zorian Clayton)将与合作伙伴(包括由Pia Laskar博士领导的瑞典遗产专业人员网络，（瑞典性别历史学家/研究员），以便与博物馆专业人员共同制作性别路径和对V&A和Vasa的收藏品和永久展览的解释。项目活动将有几个方面：1)通过在V&A和Vasa的永久展览和收藏，通过识别和研究每个博物馆的10-20件物品，发展性别解释途径。2)联合制作公众参与传播活动和材料，包括公开讲座、对话活动、教育包、自导解说材料、播客和短片。这些活动的一个关键目标是接触伙伴机构确定的新受众。3)在伦敦和斯德哥尔摩与V&A和Vasa以及其他非hei合作机构的项目团队和博物馆实践专业人员（策展人，编目员，保护人员，教育和推广以及公共规划）进行两次知识交流活动。这些活动有两个目的：在每个机构中进一步共同生产性别途径和解释性材料；并促进国际机构之间就性别解释途径的概念含义进行知识交流。4)与V&A， Vasa和瑞典博物馆网络合作，制作最佳实践模型，在瑞典博物馆之间传播，并促进国际知识交流。
