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

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)|

The role of interest in understanding the career choices of female and male college students

Inhalt: "Mismatch between college students' work goals and perceived goal affordances of physical/ mathematical science careers may help explain gender differences in interest and career choice. In Study 1, the desire for interesting work was cited by most students in the sample (89% White, 6% Asian, 5% other). Compared to men, women reported interpersonal work goals more and high pay and status work goals less frequently. In Study 2, students (79% White, 12% Latino, 5% Asian, 4% other, predominantly middle class) perceived physical/ mathematical science careers as less likely to afford interpersonal goals and more likely to afford high pay and status goals compared to other careers. Interpersonal goal affordances predicted greater interestingness for all careers, whereas high pay and status goal affordances predicted greater interestingness only for physical/ mathematical sciences. Interestingness positively predicted likelihood of career choice." (author's abstract)
