This Fellowship explores the benefits of co-producing energy history research with young people in museums. By collaboratively researching the histories of women and energy to co-produce a critical re-interpretation of domestic objects in Leeds Museums and Galleries' collections, we will effectively facilitate a public conversation via an exhibition, podcasts and digital classroom resources, on who has the power to make the decisions that need to be made to create the post-carbon home of the twenty-first century. I will work with Leeds Museum's established youth collective, the Preservative Party: a diverse group of 14-24 year olds. We will co-produce research founded in the numerous objects in the Leeds collections that represent the histories of energy but are rarely interpreted as such and never from the point of view of women influencing energy decisions. Building on the Preservative Party's work to explore the overlooked histories of museum objects, we will ask why it is important to understand how energy transformations were effected and often led by women in their homes? What can we learn from historic social and gendered drivers for change at a moment when we all need to transition to a post-carbon energy supply? How does co-production empower young people, often our contemporary leaders in climate activism, building new skills that enable them to be more effective environmental activists?The Fellowship will develop my research leadership in energy history through the co-production of research with young people. The project is founded on 20+ years of working together with Leeds Museums and Galleries to deliver educational engagement activities and teaching. I have led on cultural partnerships in Leeds, particularly during my 10-year tenure as the Deputy and then Head of the School of Fine Art, History of Art and Cultural Studies and successfully delivered the first Memorandum of Understanding between the University and our City museums and galleries. But I have never consolidated my research expertise in histories of the c19th home and my leadership in educational engagement and I have not yet co-produced research with the communities that I most want to learn from and impact - young people living in Leeds. The Preservative Party and I will co-create an exhibition and educational resources that will be disseminated on MyLearning.org: a digital platform for free National Curriculum Linked learning resources from arts, cultural and heritage organisations. These resources will speak to their current concerns about sustainability and the environment while questioning the history of decision making and the power of social persuasion in energy transitions. Focusing on the question of 'Who had/s the power to make energy decisions?' and reframing the history and historiography of this through women's experiences in the home, we will use cross-disciplinary explorations of the history of energy in a way that engages a diversity of voices in both process and outcomes. By co-creating the educational outcomes, our focus will be on continuing to develop the young people's agency in the way that education in heritage spaces is conceived and delivered in Leeds.I will share my learning on the benefits/challenges of co-production and its role in energy history research, via the work I do to support and inspire ECRs at the University, my museum collaborations, work on educational policy and my leadership of a national network of teachers, supporting them to support young people to develop the skills, cultural and science capital to increase their agency in energy activism. The Fellowship will create a step-change in my research leadership and will impact nationally and internationally our understanding of the importance of social and cultural history in energy futures and the role of young people, their teachers and our museums in generating environmental change.

该奖学金探索与博物馆中的年轻人共同制作能源史研究的好处。通过合作研究女性和精力的历史，共同制作利兹博物馆和美术馆收藏的家居物品的批判性重新解释，我们将通过展览、播客和数字课堂资源有效地促进公众对话，讨论谁有权做出必要的决定，创造21世纪的后碳家园。我将与利兹博物馆的老牌青年团体--防腐党--合作：一个由14-24岁的年轻人组成的多元化团体。我们将共同制作建立在利兹收藏的众多物品中的研究，这些物品代表了能源的历史，但很少被这样解释，也从来没有从影响能源决策的女性的角度进行解释。在防腐剂党探索被忽视的博物馆文物历史的工作的基础上，我们会问，为什么理解能量转换是如何影响并经常由女性在家里领导的，这一点很重要？在我们都需要向后碳能源供应转型的时刻，我们能从推动变革的历史、社会和性别驱动因素中学到什么？联合制作如何使年轻人，通常是我们同时代的气候行动主义领袖，获得新的技能，使他们成为更有效的环境活动家？该奖学金将通过与年轻人共同制作研究成果，培养我在能源史方面的研究领导力。该项目建立在与利兹博物馆和美术馆合作20多年的基础上，提供教育参与活动和教学。我在利兹领导了文化伙伴关系，特别是在我担任美术、艺术史和文化研究学院副校长的10年期间，并成功地发布了该大学与我们城市博物馆和美术馆之间的第一份谅解备忘录。但我从未整合过我在C19家庭历史方面的研究专长，以及我在教育参与方面的领导力，我还没有与我最想向其学习并产生影响的社区--生活在利兹的年轻人--共同进行研究。保护党和我将共同创建一个展览和教育资源，并将在MyLearning.org上传播：MyLearning.org是一个数字平台，提供来自艺术、文化和遗产组织的免费国家课程链接学习资源。这些资源将讲述他们目前对可持续发展和环境的担忧，同时质疑能源转型中决策的历史和社会说服的力量。焦点放在‘谁有权/S有权做能源决策？’通过女性在家中的经历重新构建这方面的历史和史学，我们将以一种在过程和结果中都有不同声音的方式，对能源历史进行跨学科的探索。通过共同创造教育成果，我们的重点将是继续发展青年机构，按照在利兹构思和提供遗产空间教育的方式。我将分享我对联合制作的好处/挑战及其在能源史研究中的作用的了解，通过我在大学支持和激励ECR的工作，我的博物馆合作，教育政策方面的工作，以及我对全国教师网络的领导，支持他们支持年轻人发展技能，文化和科学资本，以增加他们在能源行动方面的机构。该奖学金将使我的研究领导能力发生重大变化，并将在国内和国际上影响我们对社会和文化历史在能源未来中的重要性的理解，以及年轻人、他们的老师和我们的博物馆在引发环境变化方面的作用。
