Inhalt: "The article examines why some women choose and continue to pursue careers in science, and which structures and mechanisms within the scientific community provide them with ways to construct identities as legitimate and mature practitioners, and which do not." (author's abstract)

Organizational variations in women scientists' representation in academia

Kulis, Stephen
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 4 (1998) No. 1, S. 43-67
Inhalt: "Using a nationally representative sample of college faculty from a wide array of science disciplines, this study investigates links between organizational conditions and women's representation on college faculties. Results indicate that although the female doctoral labor supply and political constraints are powerful factors in representation, selective organizational contexts play a substantial role as well."

Women in the ranks : faculty trends in the ACS-approved departments
Autor/in:
Everett, Kenneth G.
Quelle: Journal of chemical education, Vol. 73 (1996) No. 2, S. 139-141
Inhalt: "Data from listings of chemistry faculty in ACS-approved departments were analyzed
over the interval 1973-1993, to determine trends in the representation of women in
the various ranks at BS, MS, and PhD-granting institutions. The results are discussed
and compared to other, less complete ACS survey data not specific to ACS-approved
schools. Percentage of faculty positions held by women was also analyzed by geographic
region, considerable variation being found. Though women have realized significant
gains in representations on chemistry faculties over the last twenty years, the data
here presented indicate, for the first time, that their proportion of faculty positions
may now be leveling off." (author's abstract)|

The origins of sex differences in science
Autor/in:
Long, J. Scott
Quelle: Social forces : an international journal of social research associated with the Southern Sociological Society, Vol. 68 (1990) No. 4, S. 1297-1315
Inhalt: "The sociology of science has clearly established the presence of sex differences in scientific productivity and position. This article examines the processes leading to the lower productivity of female scientists at the completion of their doctoral training. Collaboration with the mentor is found to be the most important factor affecting productivity. For females, opportunities for collaboration are significantly decreased by having young children. As a consequence, the presence of young children has an adverse, indirect effect on the productivity of female scientists during graduate study. This effect does not exist for males. In addition to differences in the process of collaboration, many small differences that disadvantage women and advantage men are found in the levels of resources affecting productivity and in the mechanisms by which resources are translated into productivity. The concentration of small disadvantages provides a further explanation of sex differences in productivity at the start of the career. Since early advantages and disadvantages have been found to accumulate, this article provides an essential first step in understanding sex differences in scientific productivity and position that emerge during the career."
