Exploring Dance Histories at the Radcliffe College Archives
Interdisciplinary Approaches
Thom Hecht
Ilona Horwath, Editors
This book is the first in-depth archival exploration of a lost history of dance as an extracurricular activity at Radcliffe College, the women’s liberal arts college of Harvard University, during the first half of the twentieth century. Using archival storying, an innovative method that incorporates the researcher’s lived experiences at the Radcliffe College Archives into his historical discourse, the text presents three archive stories informed by the researcher’s personal encounters with the surroundings of the archive and the interpretation and reading of what he found. The result is a transporting narrative that vividly recreates the remapping of Radcliffe’s dance history.
What role does gender play in scientific research and technological development? This book shares methodological expertise, research experiences, and empirical results as they relate to gender in science and technology studies. Contributors hail from computer science, the social sciences, and philosophy and discuss how to pose questions about gender and apply such questions in interdisciplinary research, development, and teaching. Topics range from the design of information and communication technologies and the epistemologies of biology and chemistry to teaching mathematics and professional processes in engineering.
