Inhalt: "Das Ziel dieses Aufsatzes ist es, zu untersuchen, wie Gender, Mobilität, Karrieren und private Lebensführungen unter einer transnational hoch mobilen Gruppe von BiologInnen aus der Pflanzenforschung miteinander verknüpft sind. Die Autorin geht von der Hypothese aus, dass akademische Mobilität in der Wissenschaft einen wichtigen Anreiz darstellt, der für die Geschlechter unterschiedlich bedeutsam ist. Die ethnographische Studie basiert auf teilnehmenden Beobachtungen und Tiefeninterviews mit BiologInnen aus der Pflanzenforschung in einem internationalen Forschungslabor in Schweden, an dem WissenschaftlerInnen aus 35 verschiedenen Ländern arbeiten. Mit Bezug auf das Konzept des 'Kapitals' wird die Beziehung zwischen Mobilität, Karriere und Gender problematisiert. Darüber hinaus betrachtet der Beitrag die Work-Life-Balance-Strategien dieser WissenschaftlerInnen und fragt danach, wie sie ihre berufliche Mobilität und ihr Privatleben organisieren." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "The aim of the article is to analyze how gender intersects with mobility, career and private life among a highly transnational group of researchers, namely plant scientists. The author's hypothesis is that academic mobility and science are constituted with gender as an important incentive. The study is based on ethnographic field work such following observations and in depth interviews with researchers in plant science. The plant scientists work at an international science center in Sweden with co-workers from 35 different countries. Using the concept of "capital", the relationship between mobility, career and gender is problematized. Furthermore, the article will look at the informants' work-life balance, i.e. how scientists manage academic mobility in relation to their private lives." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "Auf der Tagung präsentierten sich 7 empirische Forschungsprojekte, die vom BMBF im Programm 'Frauen an die Spitze' gefördert werden, und stellten sich der Diskussion. Themen waren: Karrieren von Dual-Career-Paaren, räumliche, auch internationale Mobilität, Entscheidung von WissenschaftlerInnen für oder gegen Kinder, Vereinbarkeitsbedingungen für diejenigen, die sich für Kinder entschieden haben, Karrierebedingungen in der fachärztlichen Weiterbildung, Verbleib in der Wissenschaft nach der Promotion, Effekte der Exzellenz-Initiative für Frauen in den dort geförderten Bereichen. Die Ergebnisse brachten zahlreiche neue Details und Facetten zur Situation von Frauen in der Wissenschaft." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "In the conference 'Scholarship and Gender: Careers and Barriers on the Way to the Top' at Hamburg, 18–19 February 2010, seven empirical research projects were presented and discussed that are financed by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research within the programme 'Women to the Top'. Topics were: careers of dual career couples; geographic mobility, including international mobility; the decision for or against having children; working conditions and career perspectives of academics with children; academic education of medical specialist; women and men staying in or leaving academia after the PhD; effects of the 'excellence initiative' for women in those institutions that benefit from this programme. The results confirmed existing knowledge on women in academia and presented a lot of new details." (author's abstract)

Mommy tracking single women in academia when they are not mommies
Autor/in:
Cummings, Helene A.
Quelle: Women's studies international forum, Vol. 28 (2005) No. 2-3, S 222-231
Details
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."

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)

Postponing or rejecting parenthood? : results of a survey among female academic professionals

Details
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)|

Living in a large family does something for you : influence of family on the achievement of African and Carribean women in science

Details
Inhalt: "This article examines the influence of the family on women's achievement in scientific
careers in the sub-Saharan African and Caribbean regions. It is based on semistructured
interviews with 20 doctoral-level African and Caribbean women scientists working in
research and academic institutions in these societies. Given the diversity of structural
conditions, and economic, geopolitical, and sociocultural experiences, it is argued
that the road to success in the pursuance of a scientific career are not the same,
although there are areas of common ground. The study shows that when compared with
their North American and European counterparts, there are significant differences
in the family experiences of African and Caribbean women scientists that must be made
visible and pursued more rigorously in further studies." (author's abstract)|
