Inhalt: "Es werden Ergebnisse einer qualitativen Untersuchung über Mobilitätsorientierungen österreichischer WissenschaftlerInnen diskutiert, die zum Untersuchungszeitpunkt in den USA arbeiteten. Anhand von 21 Fallgeschichten wird eine Typologie von Mobilitätsorientierungen konstruiert, die drei Extreme enthält: Personen, die nach einem begrenzten Aufenthalt wieder nach Österreich zurückkehren; ForscherInnen, die sich transnationale Lebensstile aufgebaut haben (transnationale Mobilität); und eine dritte Gruppe, die dem Typus langfristiger Migration ohne klare Rückkehrabsicht entspricht. Einerseits werden die Ergebnisse mit einschlägigen europäischen Studien zum Thema verglichen, andererseits wird die spezifische Situation der InterviewpartnerInnen in Österreich beleuchtet: Da sie für sich selbst in der österreichischen Forschungslandschaft keine Möglichkeiten sehen, ihre Arbeit adäquat fortzusetzen, entwickeln sie spezifische Strategien, die etwa zu einer Verfestigung ihres Aufenthalts in den USA oder überhaupt zum Ausscheiden aus der Forschung führen können." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "Based on a qualitative research that focuses on the mobility orientations of young Austrian researchers, working in the United States, a typology of orientations is constructed. Referring to 21 case studies, three extreme types are being displayed: persons, who return to Austria after a few years; researchers, establishing transnational modes of working and living; and emigrants, who settled in the United States without a clear intention of return. Study results are compared with European research on that topic. The article deals with the specific situation of Austrian researchers within the context of the Austrian scientific landscape. As they often cannot perceive any adequate possibilities for future employment in research in Austria, the interviewed young researchers developed strategies such as consolidating their stay in the U.S. or completely dropping out of research."

Inhalt: "This article presents quantitative results of a study of 139 academic women in the chemical sciences who participated in a professional development program sponsored by the Committee on the Advancement of Women Chemists. The study investigated variables frequently examined in the vocational psychology of women: approaches to achievement, coping strategies, career advancement, the home-work interface, workplace climate, and mentoring. The article presents and discusses results in the context of unique issues faced by women in scientific careers." (author's abstract)

Hispanic students majoring in science or engineering : what happened in their educational journeys?
Autor/in:
Wightman Brown, Susan
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 8 (2002) No. 2, S. 123-148
Inhalt: "National statistics clearly demonstrate an under representation of minorities and women in the fields of science and engineering. Using Seidman's in-depth interviewing method, 22 Hispanic students, 12 female and 10 male, who were majoring in science or engineering were interviewed. These students were observed in their college science or engineering classes, their high school and college transcripts were analyzed, and they participated in a focus group. What made a difference in the educational journeys of these 22 students so that they could succeed - majors that have historically discouraged female and minority students? Seven themes emerged: family support, an honors program, a challenging and interactive curriculum, college preparation in high school courses, caring and kind teachers, small class sizes, and small communities. Educators must take note of these themes, which made a lasting difference in the students' futures, enabling them to choose science or engineering as their fields of study." (author's abstract)
