Wie "offen" sind die europäischen Wissenschaften für Frauen?
Titelübersetzung:How "open" are the European sciences for women?

Inhalt: Die Geschlechterungleichheit in den Wissenschaften ist weiterhin ein ungelöstes Problem. Viele Studien befassen sich mit genderspezifischen Problemen in wissenschaftlicher Kommunikation und in wissenschaftlichen Karrieren. Die EU-Statistiken ("She Figures") dokumentieren das nach wie vor dominante Muster geringerer weiblicher Präsenz in höheren akademischen Rängen in fast allen EU-Mitgliedsstaaten. EU-Wissenschaftspolitik und die nationalen Sozialpolitiken widersprechen einander. Die vorherrschende "publish or perish"-Logik, atyptische Beschäftigungsverhältnisse als akzeptierte Norm und die forcierte internationale Mobilität behindern vor allem die Wissenschaftskarrieren der Jungen und Frauen. Wie offen sind die sogenannten "offenen Initiativen" für Frauen? Frauen sind gegenüber der Open-Source-Bewegung (FLOSS) skeptisch, sie fühlen sich vom dort herrschenden männlich dominierten "frostigen" Arbeitsklima eingeschüchtert. Nur 13 Prozent der internationalen Wikipedia-Autorenschaft ist weiblich. Nur Artikel über klassisch männliche Themen wie Fußball werden in der deutschen Wikipedia als "relevant" eingestuft und dürfen daher "überleben". Es gibt kaum deutschsprachige Genderstudien im Modus Open Access. Meist ignorieren die Erhebungen zu den Einstellungen und Praktiken von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern beim Open-Access-Publizieren die Geschlechtervariable. Einzige Ausnahme bildet eine größere Befragung durch die DFG. In dieser Studie wünschen mehr Frauen als Männer Training in Open-Access-Publikationstechniken.
Inhalt: Gender inequality in sciences is an ongoing unsolved issue. Many studies have
been carried out to tackle the gender specific problems in scientific communication
and scientific careers. The EU-Statistics ("She Figures") document the still
dominant pattern of lower female presence in higher academic ranks in almost
all European Union member states. There are discrepancies between EU science
policy and national social policies. The prevailing "publish or perish" attitude,
atypical employment as accepted norm and the forced international mobility are
factors which hamper the young and female academics' scientific careers. How
open for women are the so called "open initiatives"? Women are sceptical towards
FLOSS (free/ libre open source software), they feel intimidated by the male dominated
"chilly" working climate. Only 13 percent of the international Wikipedia
writers are female. Only articles on traditionally male topics as soccer are considered as relevant in the German Wikipedia and are allowed to "survive". There is
almost no open access publishing in German gender studies. Generally the surveys
of attitudes and practices of scholars on open access publishing ignore the gender
variable. The only exception is a larger survey of the DFG. In this study women
more often than men wish more training in open access publishing techniques.

Inhalt: "Starting with a comparative assessment of different welfare regimes and political economies from the perspective of gender awareness and "pro-women" policies, this paper identifies the determinants of cross-national variation in women's chances of being in a high-status occupation in twelve West European countries. Special emphasis is given to size and structure of the service sector, including share of women in public employment and structural factors such as trade union density and employment protection. The first level of comparison between men and women concentrates on gender representation in the higher echelons of the job hierarchy, while in the second section we extend the scope of analysis, comparing women in high-status occupations and low-wage employment in order to allow for a more nuanced study of gender and class interaction. The first analysis is based on European Social Survey data for the years 2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008, capturing recent trends in occupational dynamics. Results indicate that in general a large service sector and a high trade union density enhance women's chances of being in a high-status occupations while more specifically a large public sector helps to reduce channeling women in low-wage employment. Thus, equality at the top can well be paired with inequality at the bottom, as postindustrial countries with a highly polarized occupational hierarchy such as the UK show." (author's abstract)

Slow Steps Towards Dual Earner/ Dual Carer Family Model: Why Fathers do not Take Parental Leave

Karu, Marre; Kasearu, Kairi
Quelle: Studies of Transition States and Societies, 3 (2011) 1, S 24-38
Inhalt: "The article looks at the transition of Estonian society towards dual earner/ dual carer family model and focuses on fathers' decision regarding taking their parental leave. Based on theory of planned behaviour by Ajzen, data from 20 qualitative interviews with fathers of small children are analysed to explore the beliefs fathers have when it comes to parental leave. The analysis distinguishes between two images of 'good parenting' that play a role in the fathers' intention to take parental leave. First, there is an image of an outcome-oriented 'project manager' affected by failure anxiety, and second, there is a much more relaxed image of a 'good parent' as a 'companion' who values everyday contact and a close relationship with the child(ren)."

Gender Politics in International Governance: 6-8 October 2010, Geneva Graduate Institute, Switzerland

Inhalt: "Die Konferenz betont die wichtigen Impulse für die Gleichstellung der Geschlechter durch die Einrichtung von 'UN Women', insbesondere auf internationaler Ebene. Gender Mainstreaming ist die wichtigste Umsetzungsstrategie, wobei eine Reihe von rechtlichen, praktischen und kulturellen Herausforderungen weitere, abgestimmte Lösungen erfordern. WissenschaftlerInnen, PraktikerInnen und AktivistInnen sollten sich für einen Mechanismus stark machen, der ihnen eine aktive Gestaltungsrolle in der neuen UN-Organisation ermöglicht." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "The conference underscores the new international momentum for advancing gender equality created by the establishment of 'UN Women'. Gender mainstreaming is the principal implementing strategy, however, a number of legal, practical and cultural challenges demand further concerted solutions. Academics, practitioners and activists should advocate for a mechanism allowing them to play an active role in the new entity." (author's abstract)

Teaching Gender at the Central European University: Advantages of Internationalism
Autor/in:
Pető, Andrea; Dezső, Dóra
Quelle: From Gender Studies to Gender IN Studies: Case Studies on Gender Inclusive Curriculum in Higher Education. Bucharest (UNESCO-CEPES: Studies on Higher Education), 2011, S 103-145
Inhalt: The paper explores gender teaching at the Central European University (CEU), particularly investigating, through this case, the ways in which gender-related topics can be incorporated into higher education curricula. These authors consulted institutional documents and databases, to look into the CEU "gender regime" (Connell, 1987), and they also conducted semi-structured interviews with University faculty and students, to reflect perceptions on the gender dimension in higher education teaching and research. The authors have found that CEU's unique international character provides ample space to teaching gender both by way of the autonomous Gender Studies Department and via integrating gender into other fields of study. Institutional strategic commitment has been identified in gender mainstreaming higher education curricula, as the key to further development, which might materialize in gender-conscious hiring processes, and in providing 'gender expert consulting,' for example. It is only by institutional commitment - which is to replace the present practice, based on individual
faculty's professional commitment, guaranteed by 'academic freedom' - that systematic progress in gendering higher education curricula can be attained.
