"Zur Denaturalisierung" : Wissenschaftlerinnen und Akademikerinnen in Spanien

Inhalt: "This contribution intends to show the position achieved by the studies of women in academics, and of gender studies and women scientists in Spain. The analysis of the current situation suggests that a transition is taking place toward the de-naturalization of androcentricism, both of figures of women in science and in university positions, toward a more equalitarian landscape still shaped, however, by keeping relevant barriers for women. Still segregation and discrimination, both vertical and horizontal maintain academic and scientist women in less powerful positions, thus providing them with comparatively less authority than their male peers. Gender studies still lack academic recognition as a knowledge domain in the university syllabuses. Here a reflexive approach is presented. Women professors and researchers are in a way studying themselves, tracing women genealogies in search of recognition for those women still absent, or until very recently hidden, in the historiography and more widely in contemporary academic bibliography. This absence appears mildly soften by women academic activists with growing intellectual influence, both in the political agenda and in socio-academic practices." (author's abstract)

Inhalt: "To examine how an author's gender influences his or her research output, the authors analyzed (not simply scored) more than 900 published articles in nine leading scientific journals in the field of evolutionary ecology. Women were strongly underrepresented in all countries, but this bias is decreasing. Men and women differed significantly in their fields of research, with women preferentially conducting projects on behavior rather than evolution or ecology. Most aspects of the structure of published articles and the level of conceptual generality were unaffected by an author's gender. Because discriminatory practices by reviewers and editors can be manifested in attributes of the articles that survive the review process, the latter result suggests a lack of gender-based discrimination during the review process. Gender differences in research output presumably reflect a complex array of genetic and social influences; a clearer understanding of these causal factors may help identify (and thus reduce) gender-based discrimination."

The origins of sex differences in science
Autor/in:
Long, J. Scott
Quelle: Social forces : an international journal of social research associated with the Southern Sociological Society, Vol. 68 (1990) No. 4, S. 1297-1315
Inhalt: "The sociology of science has clearly established the presence of sex differences in scientific productivity and position. This article examines the processes leading to the lower productivity of female scientists at the completion of their doctoral training. Collaboration with the mentor is found to be the most important factor affecting productivity. For females, opportunities for collaboration are significantly decreased by having young children. As a consequence, the presence of young children has an adverse, indirect effect on the productivity of female scientists during graduate study. This effect does not exist for males. In addition to differences in the process of collaboration, many small differences that disadvantage women and advantage men are found in the levels of resources affecting productivity and in the mechanisms by which resources are translated into productivity. The concentration of small disadvantages provides a further explanation of sex differences in productivity at the start of the career. Since early advantages and disadvantages have been found to accumulate, this article provides an essential first step in understanding sex differences in scientific productivity and position that emerge during the career."

Bedingungen von Forscherinnen und Frauenforschung in Schweden
Titelübersetzung:Conditions of women researchers and research on women in Sweden
Autor/in:
Carlsson, Marianne
Quelle: Die Mitarbeit : Zeitschrift zur Gesellschafts- und Kulturpolitik, Jg. 35 (1986) H. 3, S. 274-279
Inhalt: Im dem Beitrag werden die Situation und die Bedingungen von Forscherinnen und Frauenforschung in Schweden beschrieben. Die Entwicklung der Zunahme von Frauen in Hochschule und Forschung wird zunächst anhand von Zahlen skizziert. Die schwedische Begründung für Gleichberechtigungsforschung, Frauenforschung und die Forderung nach mehr Forscherinnen werden nachgezeichnet. Dann wird gezeigt, warum es schwierig ist, mehr Frauen für die Forschung und die Forscherausbildung zu gewinnen. Vor allem die psychischen Probleme der Frauen werden erläutert. Die besondere Schwierigkeit durch die Belastung mit Forschung und Familie wird diskutiert. Dann wird das aus den Erfahrungen der Frauenbewegung hervorgegangene, 1978 in Lund gegründete "Forum für Forscherinnen und Frauenforschung" vorgestellt. Ziel, Organisation und Aufgaben des Forums werden dargestellt. Als dessen Sprachrohr wird die "Frauenwissenschaftliche Zeitschrift" vorgestellt. Dann wird näher auf die Frauenforschung als interdisziplinäre Forschungsaufgabe eingegangen. Es wird die Bedeutung der Frauenperspektive in der Forschung erörtert. Auch die personellen und wirtschaftlichen Ressourcen für die Frauenforschung werden kurz erwähnt. (KW)
