SGER: For the Record: A Workshop on Conducting Oral Histories of Science

项目摘要SES 0342751帕特里克·麦克雷，美国物理研究所，《为了记录：指导口述科学史研讨会》这个研讨会的目的是让研究生--以及其他可能是口述历史技术的新手--熟悉口述历史指导的技巧，以便更好地理解近代科学史。在讲习班上，讨论的目的不仅是关于口述历史访谈对了解现代科学实践可能具有的价值，而且还将与与会者合作，使他们在离开讲习班时掌握准备和进行科学史访谈的实际技能。研讨会的目的是容纳20-25名将参加科学学会历史会议的研究生，他们计划在研讨会之后的一天内参加。研讨会的组织者将由三到四名主持人协助，他们在与科学家和科学管理人员进行口述历史访谈的各个方面都有丰富的经验，并将由两三名受邀的科学家、管理人员和工程师协助，他们将被要求作为采访对象参加。

Project AbstractSES 0342751Patrick McCray, American Institute of Physics"For the Record: A Workshop on Conducting Oral Histories of Science" The purpose for this workshop is to familiarize graduate students-and others who may be new to the technique of oral history-with the craft of conducting oral histories so to understand better the history of recent science. At the workshop, discussion will be aimed not just about the value that oral history interviews may have for understanding modern scientific practice, but also to work with participants so that they leave the workshop with hands-on skills for preparing and conducting interviews in the history of science. The aim of the workshop is to accommodate from 20-25 graduate students who will be attending the History of Science Society meeting, scheduled to follow the workshop by one day. The organizers of the workshop will be assisted by three or four facilitators who have extensive experience in all aspects of doing oral history interviews with scientists and science managers, and by two or three invited scientists, administrators, and engineers, who will be asked to participate as interview subjects.
