International Conference 2014: Call for Papers
REVEALING LIVES: WOMEN IN SCIENCE 1830-2000
Thursday 22 May ­ Friday 23 May 2014 The Royal Society, London

How are we to recover, interpret and understand women¹s experiences in
science? Popular history delivers stories of a few Œheroines¹ of science,
but perhaps these narratives do more to conceal than reveal? Where were
the workaday women scientists ­ now largely invisible - whose
contributions have helped shape science today?

This conference aims to locate and examine women¹s participation in
science, to
identify areas for further research and to reflect on how historical
interpretations can inform the role of women in science today. The
programme will include contemporary science-led panels to provide context
and help build connections between the past and the present.

ŒScience¹ and Œparticipation¹ will be defined to encourage maximum
inclusivity and we welcome contributions from a broad, multidisciplinary
perspective. Themes may include (but are not limited to):

   * Women and learned societies
   * Scientific collaboration
   * Women and spaces of scientific production
   * Women within familial & social networks of science
   * Women and scientific education and learning

   * Historiography, archives and hidden women of science
   * Representations of women scientists: media, fiction, film, art
   * Science today: issues & challenges
   * Gendered roles in science
   * The Œleaky pipeline¹: women leaving science

Selected papers from the conference will appear in a special issue of the
Royal Society¹s history journal Notes and Records (final papers to be
submitted by end of September 2014).

Proposals for panels and for individual papers are encouraged. Please
send abstracts for papers (max 20 minutes) of no more than 200 words, and
for panels of no more than 400 words, along with brief biographical
details, to Dr Claire Jones: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> and Dr Sue
Hawkins: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by the deadline of Friday 1 November
2013. For more information, please visit the project
