NSF Presents: New Approaches to Representing Women in Science

The National Science Foundation’s Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR) is hosting an online dialogue between two historians of science and a multidisciplinary artist moderated by a science historian from the National Portrait Gallery. The panel will discuss recent attempts at representation of women in the history of science through portraiture and biography. They will explore the challenge of subverting established historical narratives and defining women’s participation in the history of science. They will also examine the role of collaboration in producing and consuming these histories, the use of new technologies and media platforms, and efforts to identify and engage audiences. Registration for this event is free though required.
