Assoc. Prof. Jane Carey (University of Wollongong), 'Taking to The Field: A History of Australian Women in Science'2025 Ernest Scott Prize Lecture
In this year’s lecture, Associate Professor Carey will speak to her book, Taking to the Field: A History of Australian Women in Science (Monash UP, 2023), which challenges the dominant narrative that women have historically been absent from science. While addressing the long, significant, and yet largely forgotten contributions of Australian women to scientific research, education, and social reform, this lecture recognises women in science without eliding the settler-colonial context in which they lived and worked. In doing so, it reflects on wider questions about the writing of women’s histories and indeed Australian history at large.
