Inhalt: "Die Entwicklung von professionellen Formaten und Angeboten für die Karriereplanung und -beratung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses steht in den Wissenschaftssystemen im deutschsprachigen Raum noch vergleichsweise am Anfang. Im Mittelpunkt des Beitrags steht die triadische Karriereberatung als eine neue, bisher wenig konzeptionell unterlegte Form der Personal- und Karriereentwicklung von Professionals im Wissenschaftsbereich. Sie wird in 3 Schritten diskutiert: Erstens werden die konzeptionellen Grundlagen des triadischen Karriere- und Beratungskonzepts nach Kornelia Rappe-Giesecke (2008) erörtert. In Modifikation und Erweiterung dieses Konzepts wird zweitens ein triadischer Karrierebegriff vorgeschlagen, der Gender und Diversität systematisch reflektiert. Drittens wird das triadische Karrierekonzept auf den Begriff der Wissenschaftskarriere angewendet. Abschließend wird das Konzept der triadischen Karriereberatung im Hinblick auf seine Relevanz für die Politik der Chancengleichheit im deutschen Wissenschaftssystem beleuchtet." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "The development of professional formats and offers for career planning and career consulting of young scientists has still not been put forward in scientific systems in the German speaking world. The article focuses on triadic career consulting as a new, little conceptualized form of staff and career development for professionals in science and the humanities. In the paper, this new format is discussed in three steps: First, the author reconsiders the basics of the concept of the triadic career and consulting concept as developed by Kornelia Rappe-Giesecke (2008). Second, the author modifies and widens this concept and, thereby, suggests a triadic career concept, that reflects on gender and diversity in a systematic manner. Third, this triadic career concept is used for discussing the concept of scientific career. Finally, the concept of triadic career consulting is reflected with regard to its relevance for the politics of equal opportunity in the German system of science." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Using a survey of women science majors, we tested the assumption that women mentors and other women guides help women students pursue the sciences. The survey explicitly distinguished among three types of guides: mentors (who provide psychosocial support), sponsors (who provide instrumental support), and role models (who act as examples) encountered before and during college. We found that over 90% of the women had a guide of one type or another, that mentors were most influential to women's pursuit of science, and that guides during college were more influential than guides prior to college. Participants reported having more female than male guides overall, but that some of the most influential guides were men." (author's abstract)

Mommy tracking single women in academia when they are not mommies

Inhalt: "The issue of mommy tracking is usually related to women who are wives and mothers and have less time for their career as a result of the work related to these roles. Less is known and written about the single female childless academic whose busy life evolves around caring work, but with little to no support via social policy or administrative support. These women are often put in the precarious position of mommy tracking when they are not mommies. When it might be thought that these women have more time for all sorts of work-related and family-related tasks, it is found that overall, they have less time and less success in the halls of academe."

"Failing girls" : understanding connections among identity negotiation, personal relevance, and engagement in science learning from underachieving girls
Autor/in:

Inhalt: "Contemporary critiques of science education have noted that girls often fail to engage in science learning because the activities lack relevance for them, and they cannot 'see themselves' in the work of science. Despite the empirical support for these claims, theory around the important connections between relevance, emerging self-identity, and engagement for girls remains underdeveloped. This qualitative, exploratory investigation examines engagement in science learning among five underachieving high school girls. Data sources include in-depth interviews, classroom observations, and teacher surveys. The girls were asked to describe engagement within three learning contexts: science class, a favorite class, and an extracurricular activity. From the girls' voices emerge three themes reflecting the centrality of self: 'who I am,' 'who I am becoming,' and 'the importance of relationships.' It is important that these themes of self and of identity negotiation are integrated with the ways these girls find learning personally relevant. One pattern of extracurricular engagement and two patterns of science engagement (integrated and situational) are described. This study attempts to expand the dialogue around the relationships between identity, relevance, and engagement among underachieving girls and suggests ways in which curriculum can be grounded in students' lives and developing identities."

Inhalt: "Wissenschaft zu betreiben ist ein Beruf - dessen typische Tätigkeitsmerkmale begleitet und verändert werden durch wandelnde Werte und die Medien der Zeit. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden augenblickliche Entwicklungslinien auf dem Berufsfeld "Wissenschaft" vor dem Hintergrund der veränderten Ökonomisierung und der Internationalisierung der deutschen Wissenschaftslandschaft aufgezeigt. Veränderte Faktoren, wie z.B. die Standardisierung von Studiengängen, die Einführung von Juniorprofessuren und die veränderte Ressourcenverteilungspolitik tragen zum Wertewandel in der Wissenschaft bei, was insbesondere bei Nachwuchswissenschaftlern den Einsatz von Karrierepolitiken notwendig macht und verschärft." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "Science is a peculiar field of profession-with changing features depending on changing values and the role of media. The aim of this article is to demonstrate the current development in the field of German social scientists concerning the new conception of raising German higher education and science to the international standard. The introduction of associate professorship (Junior Professor), the standardization of departments at universities and the new way of distributing resources include only a few of the important factors that contribute in changing the values in science. As a result promising young scientists need to put much more scientific effort and much more micropolitics to work their way up and to get to the top." (author's abstract)
Postponing or rejecting parenthood? : results of a survey among female academic professionals

Inhalt: "The current surge in childlessness is often seen as an alternative lifestyle amidst
growing pluralism and individualism. The results of this study indicate that several
subgroups of childless women need to be differentiated: those who actively decide
to forgo children in favour of other life pursuits and those who merely defer the
decision. Both have accumulated a high degree of human capital in their education
or career-building paths. Thus, the increase of a woman's time invested in education
or career formation takes its toll on the time available for childrearing. A survey
performed among female academics (N=193) brought to light that among childless women,
many merely mean to postpone motherhood until their career prospects are established.
Differences between those who outwardly reject motherhood and those who defer the
decision can be seen in a variety of job- and career-related aspects. However, due
to misconceptions about fertility, many of those who merely intended to postpone children
may inevitably end up 'involuntarily childless'. As this trend is most likely to increase
in the near future, the resolution of this conflict will be an important milestone
in the development of modern industrialized countries. As can be seen from this survey,
financial benefits will not induce women to enter into motherhood. Rather, societal
and infrastructural changes have to be brought about in order to induce women to enter
into motherhood." (author's abstract)|
As balancing act and as game : how women and men science faculty experience the promotion process

Inhalt: "Studies on the division of domestic labor find that women take on a greater proportion
of domestic responsibilities; this has implications for both women and men who work
in demanding jobs. In this study of women and men science faculty at a major research
university, the authors find that women tend to relate their experiences of the promotion
process to both their domestic and faculty roles, whereas men tend not to consider
than their domestic roles have any bearing on their experiences of the promotion process.
Women view the promotion process in terms of the components that make demands on their
time, and they suggest ways that the process could (and should) be changed. Men view
the process as a challenging game, and they describe the promotion process, as it
currently exists, as necessary and acceptable. The authors find that there are compelling
reasons to reconsider the structure of the promotion process and to strengthen and
expand the programmatic supports that address the needs of women." (author's abstract)|
Image problems deplete the number of women in academic applicant pools

Inhalt: "Despite near numeric parity in graduate schools, women and men in science and mathematics may not perceive the same opportunities for career success. Instead, female doctoral students' career ambitions may often be influenced by perceptions of irreconcilable conflicts between personal and academic goals. This article reports the results of a career goals survey of math and science doctoral students at the University of California, Davis. Fewer women than men began their doctoral programs seeking academic research careers. Of those who initially favored academic research, twice as many women as men downgraded these ambitions during graduate school. Women were more likely to feel geographically constrained by family ties and to express concern about balancing work and family, long work hours, and tenure clock inflexibility. These results partially explain why the percentage of women in academic applicant pools is often well below the number of Ph.D. recipients. The current barriers to gender equity thus cannot be completely ameliorated by increasing the number of women in the pipeline or by altered hiring practices, but changes must be undertaken to make academic research careers more flexible, family friendly, and attractive to women."
