3rd workshop of the SCAR History of Antarctic Research Action Group: "National and transnational agendas in Antarctic Research from the 1950s and beyond" (Byrd Polar Research Center, Columbus, Ohio, USA, from 2007-10-25 09:00 to 2007-10-26 17:00) — by admin

During the workshop on "National and transnational agendas in Antarctic Research from the 1950s and beyond" we want to study to what degree research in the Antarctic has been driven by scientific criteria and to what extent compromises were made in the light of political barriers and logistical limitations. In historical perspective, a review shall be made of essential background factors at work, both scientific and non-scientific ones, when nations were moved to participate in the IGY (1957-58). Additionally background factors will be considered with regard to major nations that chose not to contribute to the IGY with expeditions. The political role of the Antarctic treaty and the role of science in it is also an important question in this context, as Antarctica at the political level became constructed as a continent by and for science and peace. Other questions refer to the development of international joint research programmes, cultural diversity of participants of the IGY, reflection of the IGY in the media at time of the Cold War, or knowledge transfer within the polar community since the IGY
