Inhalt: "Im Mittelpunkt des Beitrags steht die Frage, wie sich die Beteiligung von Frauen in der Hochschule verändert hat, wie sich Selektionsprozesse in der Wissenschaft vollziehen, und welche Rolle dabei der Kinderwunsch spielt. Auf der Basis einer umfangreichen Datenanalyse des Statistischen Bundesamts zum Hochschulpersonal sowie Daten der Landesämter für Besoldung und Versorgung mit Angaben zu Kindern werden die Zusammenhänge zwischen den zunehmenden Drittmittel- und Teilzeitbeschäftigungen im Wissenschaftsbereich und den generativen Entscheidungen junger Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler aufgezeigt. Wissenschaftlerinnen sind zwar signifikant häufiger als Wissenschaftler teilzeitbeschäftigt, überraschenderweise geht dies jedoch nicht in gleichem Maße wie bei Männern mit einem Verzicht auf Kinder einher. An dem Ausstieg von Frauen, die über die Potenziale zur wissenschaftlichen Arbeit verfügen, sich aber dem Postulat der völligen Hingabe an die Wissenschaft nicht fügen wollen, sind die Beschäftigungsbedingungen an den Hochschulen mit beteiligt. Strategien zu einer familiengerechten Hochschule und Unterstützungsangebote für eine Lebensplanung mit Kindern können dem entgegenwirken." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "This article investigates how the participation of women in higher education has changed, how selection processes in academia take place and what is the role of the desire to have children. The study is based on an extensive analysis of data from the Federal Statistical Office on higher education personnel and data from the Länder offices for remuneration (Landesämter für Besoldung und Versorgung) on children. The article looks at the connections between the increasing project-based and part-time employment in higher education and research and the generative decisions of young academics. Female academics are employed part-time significantly more often but surprisingly, this does not go hand in hand with relinquishment of children as often as for men. Higher education institutions contribute to the pullout of women who have the potential for academic work but do not subscribe to the postulate of total surrender to academia. Strategies for a family-friendly university and practical support measures for life with children can counteract this." (author's abstract)

Zur Doppelbödigkeit des sozialen Feldes nach Bourdieu

Inhalt: "Der Beitrag reflektiert Ergebnisse einer Untersuchung zu Karrierechancen von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern an der Hochschule, bei denen sich fachkulturell unterschiedliche Auffassungen über Beruf und Familie auswirken. Gefragt wird, inwieweit sich diese Ergebnisse mit Konzepten Bourdieus, insbesondere der des sozialen Feldes, aber auch mit der Konzeption der Territorien von Helga Krüger erfassen lassen. Dieser Vergleich trägt dazu bei, bei Bourdieus Konzeption des sozialen Feldes außer dem beruflichen Vordergrund den familialen Hintergrund und damit eine Doppelbödigkeit des sozialen Feldes zu erkennen." (Autorenreferat)
Inhalt: "This paper analyses research findings of a study on career opportunities of women and men as academics at university. The study shows that different notions of profession and family in the academic disciplines have an impact an career opportunities. The paper asks in how far these findings can be described with Bourdieu's concept of social fields and also with Helga Krüger's conception of territories. This comparison allows us to see that Bourdieu's concept of the social field shows the foreground of professional work as well as the private background and therefore a specific ambiguity."

Mommy tracking single women in academia when they are not mommies

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."

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)|
