Inhalt: "This research examines the effects of gender and a number of family experiences on young people's chances of going into postsecondary science training and science occupations in the years immediately following high school. Data came from the nationally representative, longitudinal High School and Beyond survey. Results show that gender plays a significant role in choices involving early science training and occupations-especially training. Amongst young men and women with comparable resources and qualifications, young women are less likely to make the science choice. The family experiences and expectations examined here are not a major factor in understanding gender differences in access to science training and occupations. Although much of the literature describes the domains of science and of family as being at odds, results from this research suggest that family experiences play a rather minimal role in predicting who will enter science training or occupations in the early post-high school years. When family variables do have an effect, they are not always negative and the nature of the effect varies by the time in the life cycle that the family variable is measured, by type of family experience (orientation vs. procreation), by outcome (science major vs. science occupation), and by gender."

Inhalt: "Researchers in the area of women in science are trying to understand how the participation of women in science can be increased and also what prevents women from developing scientific careers. Past influential work supports the importance of taking the perspective of women's education and career paths as a whole, emphasizing the importance of structural and social factors in career progress. This paper reports some outcomes from an interview study with women PhD physicists working in a variety of science-related careers. Our aim is to explore and document the career experience of women scientists and to identify barriers and constraints to women's participation in science careers and to investigate ways in which educational experiences contribute to career progress."

Geschlecht ist (k)ein akademisches Schicksal : universitäre Gleichbehandlung zwischen feministischen Ansprüchen und "Wirklichkeiten"

Inhalt: "Die AutorInnen benennen das theoretische Problem einer schematischen Gleichheit,
das jedem demokratischen System inhärent ist. Dabei gehen die Rechtsphilosophin und
der Professor für Römisches Recht der Frage nach, inwiefern die Gestaltung des Gleichheitsdiskurses
im Recht davon bestimmt ist, ob in einer Gesellschaft festgefügte Gleichheitsvorstellungen
gelten oder ob ein kontroverses Meinungsspektrum die Gleichheitsfrage bestimmt. Während
erstere Auffassung dazu führt, dass jeglicher Anspruch auf Veränderung als fachfremd
behauptet und zur Sache der Politik gemacht wird, hält ein kontroverser Umgang, so
die AutorInnen, die Möglichkeit bereit, eine demokratische Zielvorstellung zu verfolgen
und eine Neubestimmung von Gleichheit vorzunehmen." (Autorenreferat)

Living in a large family does something for you : influence of family on the achievement of African and Carribean women in science

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)|
