Inhalt: "Women employed as researchers still remain a minority, but are they catching up? Is their distribution throughout different fields of science changing over time? Are women effectively progressing in their careers to achieve top-level positions? Are more women sitting on executive or advisory boards of research organizations? The She Figures 2012 contains the most recent available data on the involvement of women covering the period from tertiary education to employment and their work-life outlook, in the 27 EU Member States and in the associated countries."

Inhalt: "Der Sammelband befasst sich mit der Situation von Wissenschaftlerinnen in der deutschen außerhochschulischen Forschung, speziell in den Naturwissenschaften. Die Beiträge des vorliegenden Sammelbands zeigen die deutliche Geschlechterdifferenz hinsichtlich wissenschaftlicher Karriereverläufe. Die Autorinnen nehmen die Forschungsumgebung der Wissenschaftlerinnen in den Blick. Die Untersuchungen basieren auf qualitativen Interviews mit Expertinnen aus den Geschäftsstellen der außerhochschulischen Forschung. Die vorliegenden Analysen werden aus Sicht einer Forschungseinrichtung kommentiert und mit (Gegen)Beispielen aus der Praxis gespiegelt." (Autorenreferat). Inhaltsverzeichnis: Kirsti Dautzenberg, Doris Fay, Patricia Graf: Vorwort (7-10); Annett Hüttges, Doris Fay: Geschlechterdifferente (Wissenschafts-)Karrieren - Fakten, Theorien und Denkanstöße (11-28); Patricia Graf, Kirsti Dautzenberg, Nadja Büttner, Sylvia Schmid: Frauenkarrieren in der Wissenschaft - eine vergleichende Analyse des Status quo (19-46); Patricia Graf: Erklärungsansätze der außerhochschulischen Forschungseinrichtungen zur Unterrepräsentation von Frauen (47-58); Patricia Graf, Sylvia Schmid: Organisationsstrukturen und ihr Einfluss auf die Karriereentwicklung von Wissenschaftlerinnen (59-106); Kirsti Dautzenberg, Doris Fay, Patricia Graf: Wie geht es weiter (107-108).

Inhalt: "What is the proportion of female and male researchers in Europe and how is this balance evolving over time? In which scientific fields are women better represented? Do the career paths of female and male researchers follow similar patterns? How many senior research positions are held by women in Europe? And is there any age trend that can be observed? Published by the European Commission's Directorate General for Research in 2003, 2006 and 2009, She Figures is an ongoing work to present statistics and indicators an women in science from tertiary education to the job market. Along with the 27 EU Member States, She Figures covers Croatia, Iceland, Israel, Norway, Switzerland and Turkey. The cooperation of the Member States, Associated Countries, and colleagues from Eurostat in preparing She Figures is gratefully acknowledged." (publisher's description)

Improving the graduate school experience for women in mathematics : the EDGE program
Autor/in:
Bozeman, Sylvia T.; Hughes, Rhonda J.
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 10 (2004) No. 3, S. 243-254
Inhalt: "For over a decade, Spelman College and Bryn Mawr College have collaborated on initiatives designed to increase the presence of women, with a special focus on women of color, in the upper ranks of mathematical science. The most recent initiative is the EDGE Program (Enhancing Diversity in Graduate Education), which addresses this challenge by attempting to decrease the loss of talent from U.S. graduate programs. To this end, the program provides structures that help women make successful transitions from undergraduate into graduate mathematics programs, redirect or refocus their ambitions when programs are inappropriate or unsuitable, and, ultimately, enable them to 'accumulate advantages' that will empower them and foster success in their careers. A broader goal of this program is to diversify the mathematics community by creating models for mathematics programs that allow people from all backgrounds and cultures to thrive, advance, and contribute to the profession."

Women in science and engineering building community online
Autor/in:
Kleinman, Sharon S.
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 9 (2003) No. 1, S. 73-88
Inhalt: "This article explores the constructs of online community and online social support and discusses a naturalistic case study of a public, unmoderated, online discussion group dedicated to issues of interest to women in science and engineering. The benefits of affiliation with OURNET (a pseudonym) were explored through participant observation over a 4-year period, telephone interviews with 21 subscribers, and content analysis of e-mail messages posted to the discussion group during a 125-day period. The case study findings indicated that through affiliation with the online discussion group, women in traditionally male-dominated fields expanded their professional networks, increased their knowledge, constituted and validated positive social identities, bolstered their self-confidence, obtained social support and information from people with a wide range of experiences and areas of expertise, and, most significantly, found community."

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)
