Women in Science: Achievements and Barriers

June 8-9, 2023

Inspired by its 2023 exhibition *Women in Science, *the American
Philosophical Society is organizing two international conferences that will
explore the history of women in science, the present state of science and
society, and the opportunities to create a more inclusive and diverse
practice of science. The Society’s first gathering will focus on the themes
“achievements and barriers,” while the second will focus on
“opportunities.” Both conferences aim to examine these themes from
historical, contemporary, and interdisciplinary perspectives.

The program committee is now accepting proposals for the first conference
on “Women in Science: Achievements and Barriers.” The conference will be
held in-person at the Society in Philadelphia on June 8-9, 2023. The
conference will also be livestreamed.

The program committee invites paper proposals from scholars in all fields,
and especially historians, practitioners, policymakers, educators, and
others whose work bears upon this theme.

Possible topics include but are not limited to:

   - The contributions women have made to the advancement of scientific
   knowledge throughout time, and the varied forms these accomplishments have
   taken
   - The barriers that women have faced and continue to face in accessing
   scientific knowledge, education, and professional training
   - The challenges women have faced and continue to face in achieving full
   and equal participation and recognition in scientific endeavors and
   research opportunities
   - The impact of differences across scientific disciplines on the
   experiences of women in science
   - The impact of race, disability, class, and other identities on the
   experiences of women in science
   - The historical efforts taken by individuals, groups, policymakers,
   educators, and institutions to reduce barriers, their successes and
   failures, and how they continue to influence scientific education and
   practice today
   - Studies of scientists, cohorts, and intellectual networks that have
   affected women’s access to and participation in science
   - The ways in which the labor, politics, and economics of scientific
   research practices impact women’s roles in science
   - The ways in which gendered social roles affect the careers of women in
   science

Applicants should submit a title and a 250-word proposal along with a C.V.
