International Symposium
Women and Gender Studies - Where Do We Stand?
September 14-17 2011
Call for Papers
First circular
Venue:
Ecole Normale Supérieure
45 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris, France
Introduction
Research on women in science has long been viewed as interchangeable with studies on gender and science, while covering a wide range of disciplinary fields such as natural, medical, and engineering sciences, as well as social and human sciences. The aim of this biennial Symposium is to compare the different methodological, historiographical, as well as sociopolitical perspectives that have been developed so far; to unravel creative tensions among the different perspectives; and to suggest innovative ways for better understanding science, technology, and medicine through the gender perspective.
During the symposium we expect that historians of science, technology, and medicine on the one hand, and scholars of gender in science and technology studies scholars will exchange ideas on key issues related to gender and women in science and technology. In addition, a special session will be dedicated to the legacy of Mme Curie for women in science per the declaration of 2011 as the International Year of Chemistry (IYC-2011) in honor of the 100th anniversary of Mme Curie’s 2nd Nobel Prize in chemistry (1911).
More specifically we wish to focus on the following topics:
Theme 1 –Methodological, epistemological and historiographical issues in women and gender science studies (including micro-history, cultural history, and social history)
The focus here is on the different methods and historiographical approaches that have been used in research on “women in science” versus research on “gender and science”. For example, what makes gender issues and women issues different in history of science? What methodologies could be transferred from history of science to gender studies? What methodologies could be transferred from gender studies to history of science? For example, this issue was raised as an emerging and divisive dichotomy by Women, Gender, and Science, (Osiris 12, 1997), while Creative Couples in the Sciences (Rutgers University Press, 1996) addressed such issues as methodologically complementary, rather than signaling an emerging divide between historians and other practitioners of science studies. We now seek to reassess where we stand now and how recent works, often collective, (e.g. Gender and Genres: Lives of Women, 1700-2000, Bologna, 2011) have advanced this argument. To sum up, we wish to reassess what science studies on women and gender have contributed to the history of science and what new issues have emerged in the last decade or so. Have women and gender science studies transformed the history of science? Does the history of science infuse gender studies with much needed lessons from the past? How do we best incorporate the development of a new understanding of science and technology with newer visions of gender as closely interrelated areas of activity?
Theme 2 - The changing concept of gender in science and technology studies
We also wish to explore new nuances and new applications of the concept of gender in studies of science, technology, and medicine as in Never Mind the Gap! Gendering Science in Transgressive Encounters (Uppsala, 2010) or Gendered Innovations in Science and Engineering (Stanford 2008). In France, the topic has been explored in Sexe et genre. De la hiérarchie entre les sexes (1991, reed. 2002) or Le sexe des sciences. Les Femmes en plus (1993). How do we understand, construct and/or reconstruct femininity and masculinity through our studies of science and technology? We thus welcome papers that reconceptualize the concept of gender, taking into account our recent knowledge from studies on the fe/male body in culture and medicine, as well as studies of gender in/of technology. (e.g. Special Issue of the Journal of Technology Management & Innovation on “The Gender Dimension in Technology”, vol. 5 (1) 2010)
Theme 3 – The role of new sources
As scholars of women in science have demonstrated, traditional histories of science with their focus on sources such as university archives, laboratory records, and professional accounts of science made women invisible in the history of the sciences. Here we wish to emphasize the importance of new, previously under-utilized or innovative sources in making women visible.. Such sources may include both public records such as archives of women’s organizations and colleges, and private ones, such as diaries, oral histories, and auto/biographies.
Theme 4 - Interdisciplinary approaches on women scientists and gender studies respectively.
We also wish to encourage research on women and gender in science using an interdisciplinary approach. The Symposium will provide opportunities to exchange different experiences and contemplate diverse forms of collaborative work.
Theme 5 – The legacy of Mme Curie at the Centennial of her (2nd) Nobel Prize: Women’s contributions to radiochemistry, nuclear chemistry, and cancer therapy.
This theme is part of ICY-2011, the International year of Chemistry declared in honor of the Centennial of Mme Curie’s Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Call for papers
The Programme Committee welcomes proposals for individual papers or sessions from historians, science and technology studies scholars, women’s and gender studies researchers. We encourage especially the submission of papers by graduate students and independent scholars. Each participant is allowed to submit only one paper. The committee will consider the submitted proposals and respond by the end of May.
Proposals for individual papers must include:
- A one-page summary (maximum 250 words) outlining both the content and the argument of the proposed paper;
- A short CV, including current postal and e-mail addresses.
All proposals should be sent via the email to paris.symposium2011 AT gmail.com until May 15, 2011. All information is also available on the website: http://dhst-woman.mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de/ (deadlines not updated)
Travel grants
The Commission on "Women in science" of the IUHPS/DHST could support some participants with a travel grant of up to 250 € each to PhD students or early career researchers (who will be within three years of completing their PhD‘s at the date of the conference) who are attending and presenting papers. Those who wish to apply for a travel grant should send to Annette Vogt, President of the Commission (vogt AT mpiwg-berlin.mpg.de) :
- A one-page summary (maximum 250 words) of the proposed paper;
- a brief CV;
- a short letter of recommendation.
The closing date for applications will be May 31, 2011.

The Place
The Ecole Normale Supérieure is located in the Latin Quarter in Paris. The ENS is at once a grande école, due to its selective recruitment process, and a research university. As a central actor in the training of French elites for more than two centuries, it has nourished the majority of the great intellectual movements of the 20th century and has considerably widened the scope of French scientific influence. The impressive achievements made possible through the training it dispenses, distinguish the École normale supérieure from all other French establishments of higher learning. Former students include all eight French winners of the Fields Medal, twelve Nobel Prize winners and half of the recipients the CNRS Gold Medal. The success of ENS alumni results from the quality of its research-based training, which includes individual tutorials and personalized attention for the full four years of study. This “training-by-research” model is the hallmark of the École normale supérieure. It is the best preparation for innovation and creativity. (More on the ENS website www.ens.fr)
The Venue
The Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris hosts the conference. There is one seminar room. Beamers and computers will be available.
The building is located 45 rue d’Ulm, 75005 Paris; Métro/RER station: Luxembourg, Bus station “Feuillantines” (bus n°21 and 27).
Dates: 14-17 september 2011
Invited papers
Information on the invited papers will be given in the next circular.
Language
English will be the language of the symposium. No interpretation will be provided.
Fee for the International symposium
No fees.
Meals
The costs of the meals are not included. Participants can use the Ecole Normale cafeteria (in the venue) and choose their meal themselves (prices range from 5 to 10€) or have lunch and dinner in small restaurants around the venue (many restaurants are located in the nearby Rue Mouffetard – Price range from 10 to 20€).
Accommodation
Paris offers a number of hotels at different price categories. It is possible to find single rooms for less than 100 €. Actual prices range from 59€ to 200€ depending on the number of stars and level of comfort.
