​This network was established following a two-day interdisciplinary workshop made possible thanks to the generous support of the British Academy (grant number BARSEA19\190021). It expands on the work of the Narrative Science project, a European Research Council funded project based at the London School of Economics (grant agreement No. 694732). Videos from the initial workshop can be found elsewhere on this site.

Eleanor Armstrong is co-organising the 1st Vienna Workshop on STEM Museums, Gender and Sexuality. Details and how to submit a proposal (8th Dec deadline) are listed below:

Outer Edge: Queer(y)ing STEM Collections​
When: 5th March - Half-day pre-workshop activities & 6th March 2020 - All day workshop
Where: Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Technology) 

How can the science and technology museum, as a cultural and social institution, explore the opportunities of reflecting and developing a plural society? In what ways are these museums still bound by existing collecting, labeling, and exhibiting practices? How are museum curators, practitioners, scholars grappling with these problems, and what tools, tactics and methods are helping tackling these tasks? 

The Technisches Museum Wien instigates the first Vienna workshop on gender and sexuality in STEM collections. As a part of the museum’s “Focus Gender”, this workshop will critically attend to constructions of gendered and/or heteronormative technology and science, and to emphasise the role of the object and material culture in queer and feminist approaches to science and technology studies. This workshop will bring together scholars and practitioners to scaffold actions in museums, and build a network of interested parties.

We invite papers, workshop activity ideas and creative responses that engage with collecting, representations and enacting gender and sexuality in science and technology museums. 

Participants might address: 
• Intersecting marginalizations of gender and/or sexuality in particular with ethnicity, religion, disability, race, nationality in science collections
• Collecting diversity in gender and/or sexuality in science museums. 
• Data quality and fixity around gender and/or sexuality in science collections
• Categorization, fixed categories and/or science collections
• Language in STEM fields and/or collections
• Exhibiting STEM collections in equitable ways
• Working groups, publics, and involving ‘outside’ expertise in science museums and collections

We are looking for a diversity of responses, and a range of backgrounds and perspectives. We encourage responses from early career scholars, practitioners, and museum professionals (within 10 years of beginning work in the field); and particularly welcome papers that grapple with material not in English (although the working language of the workshop will be English), and/or science and technology collections from central and eastern Europe. We are also especially interested in proposals that tackle intersections of gender and sexuality with religion, ethnicity, race, or disability.

Please submit abstracts of 150 words for 15 minute papers; workshops or creative provocations and a biography of no more than 100 words to [email protected] by 8th December. Decisions will be made by the workshop leaders Dr Sophie Gerber (Technisches Museum, Vienna) and Eleanor Armstrong (invited expert, London) by the 13th December. 

Participants should note that we can confirm the workshop will be have the following access provisions: Wheelchair accessible, Lift access, non-gendered bathrooms for the day, pronoun badges, guide animals, room for breastfeeding/expressing milk, quiet room (prayer and/or sensory breaks). No capability for hearing loops. 
We will also have an anti-discrimination and harassment policy, that all participants will be required to sign up to, and which will be enforced through the workshop. Our priority is to make the workshop accessible; if you have any queries, or if there are other confirmations needed please contact the organisers on [email protected]

Participation is free and we are willing to support participants with possible grant applications. The workshop language is English.

They look forward to receiving your submissions!
