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: "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)

Inhalt: "The current situation of women in scientific education and employment in European Union and applicant countries shows patterns of vertical and horizontal segregation. Yet the data that underpin these analyses are patchy, and despite some efforts to reuse available data, there is a clear need for new data, an effort that is gathering momentum in the European Commission (EC) and other pan-European bodies. However, new data collection requires major resourcing and for this to happen, various actors need to be convinced that the 'women and science problem' matters. Various arguments can be found in the literature about why the issue is seen to matter, and here, the author focuses particularly on a recent rationale in the EC, the 'science and society' perspective. However, if women, as agents, persist in retreating from science, the reasons behind the phenomena shown up in the available data need to be much more closely examined, in terms of the structures and institutions of scientific education and employment."

The myth of meritocracy and delusions of equity : cultural impediments to diversity in natural science programs
Autor/in:
Jones, Leslie S.
Quelle: San Diego, 1998. 12 S.
Inhalt: "In an effort to determine why there is continued scarcity of all women and of men
of color in the sciences, this study turns the lens of the social sciences onto social
aspects of the sciences. Interviews with academic science faculty examined gender
and racial/ethnic issues in the professional domain of a variety of scientists for
clues as to how the culture of science might influence demographic participation in
science programs. As a study of culture with an explicitly sociopolitical agenda,
this study adheres most closely to the traditions of Critical Ethnography. Interviews
were conducted with 34 practicing scientists sampled demographically across science
and applied science fields with respect to sex and racial/ ethnic background. The
interviewees were half female, half male, half Caucasian, and half people of color
(from several ethnic groups). Results indicate that the scientific method and its
associated worldview are the most readily identifiable source of the problem of minority
representation in the sciences. Scientists believe they can remove subjectivity from
their treatment of people, because they are convinced they can do this in their empirical
work. Responses, however, in interviews indicate that people in the sciences are not
treated equally or equitably." (author's abstract)|
