Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study analyzes the long-lasting citizen’s practice of radiation measurement in Japan after the Chornobyl Incident and Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Incident using the Feminist Standpoint (FSP) approach, which discusses the state of science and technology from the women's lived experiences as the beginning of the scientific enquiry. I examined the social role of this citizen science focusing on the measurement practices of women and the science concerning radiation in Japanese society.
Based on the interviews of activists and practitioners who worked at Citizen Radiation Measurement Organizations (CRMOs) in Japan and various materials such as the newsletters published by these CRMOs, I conducted empirical and theoretical research. Part of the research was completed in collaboration with a Belgian citizen science research team.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

近年、日本においても市民科学という枠組みでの研究が増えてきているが、日本で長い歴史を持つボトムアップ型市民科学において、女性がどのような貢献を行なってきたか/行なっているかに焦点を当てた研究はほとんど存在しない。原発事故という災害において女性が果たした役割や、「科学」と同様に「市民科学」の中にも存在するジェンダー規範、また社会の中の科学の有り様にこうした要素がどのように影響しているのか、といった新たな研究枠組みを構築した点で、学術的および社会的意義が高い。また、本研究はベルギーの市民科学研究チームと共同でフィールドワーク等を行なったことから、国際的な市民科学研究にも貢献している。
