Dear Colleagues,
The symposium is organised at the Ecole Normale Supérieure by the Commission
on "Women in Science, Technology, and Medicine”, Division of History of
Science and Technology of the International Union of History and Philosophy
of Science (DHST/IUHPS).
Programme Committee :
• Pnina Abir-Am (Brandeis University, USA)
• Dominique Fougeyrollas (CNRS-IRISSO, Université Paris Dauphine)
• Anne-Sophie Godfroy (University of Paris-Est-Créteil and Ecole
Normale Supérieure de Cachan)
• Annette Lykknes (Trondheim Norwegian University of Science and
Technology)
• Maria Rentetzi (National Technical University of Athens)
• Annette Vogt (Max Planck Institute, Berlin)
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).
