9411142 Stetson该奖项支持八名美国社会和政治科学家（包括两名研究生）参加1995年3月在西欧举行的国际研究规划研讨会。 本次活动由佛罗里达大西洋大学的Dorothy McBride Stetson教授、华盛顿州立大学的Amy Mazur教授、荷兰莱顿大学的Joyce Outshoorn教授联合举办。 该研讨会将汇集美国和欧洲的政治学和社会学学者，目的是确定制度化女性主义比较研究的优先事项，并准备研究设计，以进行研究问题和假设的跨国调查。 应邀参加讲习班的人员具有比较政治学和社会理论方面的专门知识，以及对一个或多个国家妇女政策机构现象的研究经验。 美国的参与者将受益于与欧洲国家同行合作的机会，欧洲国家有着悠久的国家理论研究传统。 在过去的100年里，西方社会发生的一些最深远的变化与性别角色的变化有关，特别是与妇女大量进入有偿劳动力市场以及家庭关系、抚养子女和政治参与的平行变化有关的变化。 国家女权主义一词指的是建立政府机构，负责提高妇女地位。 这些机构包括各种形式，从专门局或部级办公室到平等机会理事会。 研讨会和随后的合作研究承诺作出重要贡献的发展经验为基础的国家能力和国家与社会关系的理论。 ***

9411142 Stetson This award supports the participation of eight U.S. social and political scientists (including two graduate students) in an international research planning workshop to be held in Western Europe in March, 1995. This activity was jointly organized by Professors Dorothy McBride Stetson of Florida Atlantic University, Amy Mazur of Washington State University, and Joyce Outshoorn of the University of Leiden, The Netherlands. The workshop will bring together U.S. and European scholars in political science and sociology for the purpose of establishing priorities for comparative research on institutionalized feminism and preparing research designs to conduct cross-national investigations of research questions and hypotheses. Invited participants in the workshop have expertise in comparative politics and social theory, and research experience on the phenomenon of women s policy institutions in one or more countries. The U.S. participants will benefit from the opportunity of working with counterparts from European countries where there is a long tradition of inquiry into state theories. Some of the most far-reaching changes in Western societies in the last 100 years have been related to the changes in gender roles, specifically those associated with the massive movement of women into the paid labor force and the parallel shifts in family relations, child rearing and political participation. The term state feminism refers to the creation of government agencies assigned to improve the status of women. These include a variety of forms from specialized bureaus or ministerial level offices to equal opportunity councils. The workshop and ensuing collaborative research promises to make important contributions to the development of empirically grounded theory of state capacities and state-society relations. ***
