Women In The Hills, c. 1800 to Present

山里的妇女(WITH)网络将把学者、创造性实践者和利益相关者聚集在一起，涉及一系列学科和部门，关注从公元1800年到今天塑造妇女土地使用的背景。这种跨学科、跨部门的合作将产生一种史无前例的全面、细致入微的探索，探索定义、阻碍和促进女性与土地接触的因素。1871年，赞美诗作家弗朗西斯·哈弗格尔写道，她直到前年夏天才知道，在没有保护措施的女性徒步旅行中，可以发现强烈的乐趣和对健康有益的结合。她发现：(A)女性构成了一个独特的土地使用者群体，她们关于土地利用的价值观、信仰、经历和表现往往不同于男性偏向的规范。以及(B)认识到土地利用体验的多样性促进了健康和福祉方面的积极成果。从大约1800年户外休闲的繁荣到现在，WITH的探索将集中在女性在英国高原上的行走、跑步和攀登上。关于妇女参与的历史和当代障碍和激励措施的讨论将围绕三个重点类别展开：(A)妇女机构；(B)妇女的社会环境；(C)妇女作为土地管理决策的制定者和接受者。在这一探索范围内，艺术和人文研究将：(A)将阻碍或促进妇女参与的因素载入史册；(B)探索文学和视觉艺术品，以此作为妇女参与的证据；(C)分析这些艺术品的美学，作为妇女如何构成具有创造性的景观从业人员的独特社区的证据；(D)评估历史表现对当代妇女土地利用的影响；以及(E)传播妇女对土地利用的陈述，以挑战这一流派中妇女声音在历史上被边缘化的现象。将促进妇女写作、环境史、数字人文、景观美学、旅游、服装和设备史、体育科学和医学、女权主义和计算机科学等领域的学者之间的对话。对话将包括景观表现方面的创意从业者；档案保管员和馆长；以及遗产、保护、卫生、环保、工程、理疗、旅游和户外行业、服装和套件设计等领域的利益攸关方。With有四个项目合作伙伴：保护慈善机构John Muir Trust、女性试跑公司Girls on Hills、骨盆健康活动家骨盆咆哮和曼彻斯特大学英语系(文学地理和数字人文学者乔安娜·泰勒博士)。合作伙伴包括户外工业协会、EVB体育和国家信托基金。在纽卡斯尔文学艺术中心的自然写作节(约200人)公开启动后，该网络将包括三个为期一天的研讨会(约40人)，每个主题都围绕网络的三个重点类别之一。为贫困妇女(约10人)举办的住宅区周末将包括受研讨会讨论影响的实用、信息丰富和创造性的会议。为期两天的会议(约120人)将报告研讨会和周末的主要发现，并通过邀请演讲者和公开电话会议参与者的演讲来巩固这些发现。该网络的探索将通过期刊特刊、华兹华斯信托基金展览、网站、博客和社交媒体以及确定障碍和建议可交付改进的政策文件传播，其影响将在山上女孩和国家信托基金实施的干预措施中衡量。通过这些方法，WITH将制定一种跨学科、跨部门的方法，适用于今后对土地使用者的经验和表现的多样性的研究。

The Women In The Hills (WITH) Network will bring together scholars, creative practitioners and stakeholders, across a range of disciplines and sectors, concerned with the contexts that shape women's land use from c. 1800 to the present day. This inter-disciplinary, cross-sector collaboration will generate an unprecedentedly holistic, nuanced exploration of factors that define, hinder and promote women's engagements with land.When hymn-writer Frances Havergal wrote in 1871 about a recent mountaineering adventure that she 'did not know till the summer before last what a combination of keen enjoyment and benefit to health...was to be found in a pedestrian tour by unprotected females,' she identified (a) that women constitute a distinct community of land users, whose values, beliefs, experiences and representations, about land use frequently differ from a male-biased norm, and (b) that recognition of such diversity in experiences of land use promotes positive outcomes in health and wellbeing.WITH's explorations will focus on women's walking, running and climbing in UK uplands, from the flourishing of outdoor leisure in c. 1800 to the present. WITH's discussion of historical and contemporary barriers and incentives to women's participation will be structured around three focal categories: (a) female bodies, (b) women's social circumstances, (c) women as makers and recipients of decisions about land management. Within this exploration, arts and humanities research will (a) historicise factors that hinder or promote women's participation, (b) explore literary and visual artefacts as evidence of women's participation, (c) analyse those artefacts' aesthetics as evidence for how women constitute a distinct community of creative landscape practitioners, (d) assess the impact of historical representations on contemporary women's land use, and (e) disseminate women's representations of land use to challenge the historical marginalisation of women's voices in this genre. WITH will facilitate conversations between scholars in women's writing; environmental history; digital humanities; landscape aesthetics; history of tourism, clothing and equipment; sports science and medicine; feminism; and computer sciences. Conversations will include creative practitioners in landscape representation; archivists and curators; and stakeholders across heritage, conservation, sanitation, environmentalism, engineering, physiotherapy, tourism and outdoor industries, clothing and kit design. WITH has four project partners: conservation charity John Muir Trust, women's trail-running company Girls on Hills, pelvic health campaigners Pelvic Roar, and University of Manchester's English Department (Dr Joanna Taylor, scholar of literary geography and digital humanities). Collaborators include the Outdoor Industries Association, EVB Sport, and National Trust. After a public launch at the Newcastle Centre for the Literary Arts' Nature-Writing Festival (c. 200 people), the network will include three one-day workshops (c. 40 people), each themed around one of the network's three focal categories. A residential field weekend for underprivileged women (c. 10 people) will include practical, informative and creative sessions influenced by workshop discussions. A two-day conference (c. 120 people) will report on key findings from the workshops and weekend, and build on these via presentations from invited speakers and participants from an open call. The network's explorations will be disseminated via a journal special issue; Wordsworth Trust exhibition; website, blog and social media; and policy document identifying barriers and recommending deliverable improvements, whose impact will be measured during interventions implemented by Girls on Hills, and the National Trust. Through these approaches, WITH will develop an inter-disciplinary, cross-sector methodology applicable to future research on diversity among land-users' experiences and representations.
