Inhalt: Die Verfasserinnen untersuchen zunächst die Frage, wie das deutsche Hochschulsystem von außen genutzt werden kann, um eine wissenschaftliche Laufbahn zu realisieren. Anhand von qualitativen Interviews fragen sie, was osteuropäische Akademikerinnen motiviert, nach Deutschland zu kommen. Sie rekonstruieren deren Erfahrungen als Migrantinnen im deutschen Wissenschaftssystem insbesondere unter der Fragestellung, in wie fern sich die Karriereziele und -hoffnungen haben realisieren lassen. Methodisch verfolgt der Beitrag einen biografisch orientierten Lebensverlaufsansatz, der besonders geeignet ist, um zentrale Ereignisse und Wirkungszusammenhänge im beruflichen Verlauf herauszuarbeiten. Im Ergebnis wird so eine Vielzahl von Faktoren aufgezeigt, die es Wissenschaftlerinnen mit Migrationshintergrund erschweren, ihre Karriereziele im deutschen Wissenschaftssystem konsequent zu verfolgen. So trafen die hoch qualifizierten Migrantinnen im hier untersuchten MINT-Bereich (Mathematik, Informatik, Naturwissenschaft, Technik) auf vergeschlechtlichte Wissenschaftsstrukturen und auf eine massive Vereinbarkeitsproblematik, die zu exkludierenden Effekten führten.

Inhalt: "Also supported by the 6th EU Framework Programme, the PROMETEA project is described in the article 'Women in the rat race'. The aim of the project was to develop a better understanding of gender issues in various engineering and technology research settings. It involved seventeen teams from thirteen countries along with a private company. The experience and recommendations resulting from this project in this special area should receive broad dissemination." (excerpt)

Who gets promoted? : gender differences in science and engineering academia
Autor/in:
Olson, Kristen
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 8 (2002) No. 3-4, S. 347-362
Inhalt: "Using a nationally representative sample of doctoral academic scientists and engineers, this study examines gender differences in the likelihood of having tenure and senior faculty ranks after controlling for academic age, field, doctoral origins, employing educational institution, productivity, postdoctoral positions, work activities, and family characteristics. Logistic regressions show that many of these controls are significant; that biology and employment at comprehensive universities have a gender-specific advantage for women; and that postdoctoral positions, teaching instead of doing administrative work, and having children have a gender-specific disadvantage. Although the statistical methods employed here do not reveal the exact nature of how gender inequities in science and engineering careers arise, the author suggests that they exist."

Female engineering faculty at U.S. institutions : a data profile

Inhalt: Several federal agencies asked the National Research Council to document the participation of women engineers in academic institutions within the United States by creating a directory that can be used to announce programs and other formal communications. In response, the NRC compiled a list of approximately 1,300 women faculty in engineering departments in the United States and conducted a survey to gather additional information about their status and careers. This resulting databook provides information on the race/ethnicity, degrees held, employment history, primary work activities, and tenure status of the nearly 800 women faculty members who completed the survey. In addition, it summarizes their responses to questions about experiences with mentoring, factors contributing to career decisions, and satisfaction with current employment.

Career issues and laboratory climates : different challenges and opportunities for women engineers and scientists
Autor/in:
Rosser, Sue V.; Zieseniss, Mireille
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 6 (2000) No. 2, S. 1-20
Inhalt: "A survey of fiscal year 1997 POWRE (Professional Opportunities for Women in Research
and Education) awardees from the National Science Foundation revealed that women engineers
and scientists face similar issues, challenges, and opportunities and think that the
laboratory climate has similar impacts on their careers. Separating responses of women
scientists from those of women engineers revealed that 70% of both groups listed balancing
work with family responsibilities as the most difficult issue. Discrepancies in percentages
of women, coupled with differences among disciplinary and subdisciplinary cultures
within science, engineering, mathematics, and technology fields, complicate work climates
and their impact on women's careers. More frequently than women scientists, women
engineers listed issues such as (a) low numbers of women leading to isolation, (b)
lack of camaraderie and mentoring, (c) gaining credibility/respect from peers and
administrators, (d) time management, (e) prioritizing responsibilities due to disproportionate
demands, and (f) learning the rules of the game to survive in a male-dominated environment.
Women engineers also listed two positive issues more frequently than women scientists:
active recruitment/more opportunities for women and impact of successful women in
the profession. The small number of women engineers may explain these results and
suggests that it may be inappropriate to group them with other women scientists for
analysis, programs, and policies." (author's abstract)|
