Inhalt: "Why is it that in many universities the number of women professors can literally be counted on the fingers of one hand, while the men number in the hundreds? Why are women academics so relatively disadvantaged and men so firmly in control?In an attempt to find answers to these questions, Negotiating the Glass Ceiling gathers together the unique personal reflections of sixteen eminent women working in higher education across the world. These reflections document some of the changing patterns of women's lives in higher education since the war, a time of massive social change within higher education itself, as well as in women's lives outside higher education. They also illustrate that the changes that have occurred have been hard won and not without consequencesfor the women involved. The book is divided into three sections. The first four accounts provide an international perspective, followed by six pioneering women's accounts of transforming academe. The last section contains varied accounts of women still developing their careers in the 'man-centred university' sector. All these stories bear witness to the wide tapestry of cultural, socio-economic andeducational change and how they have been experienced within the field of higher education by this unique blend of challenging women. As we move towards the millenium, what lessons can we draw about the future from them?" (authors' abstract)

Inhalt: Die Autoren stellen Ergebnisse der Analyse von Erwerbsverläufen von Männern und Frauen ausgewählter Kohorten (1929-1931, 1951-1953, 1959-1961) vor, die in der Zeit der "Wende" in der DDR bzw. während des staatlichen Zusammenschlusses primär auf die Weiterverfolgung ihrer beruflichen Karriere zu DDR-Zeiten orientiert waren. Sie ziehen den Schluß, daß "zumindest von einer umfassenden Entwertung der DDR-Qualifikationen nicht die Rede sein kann". Doch bewirken rapide Anpassungen an westdeutsche Arbeitsmarkt-Kriterien rigide Entwertungen bisheriger Berufsverläufe und beeinflussen berufliche Mobilitätsprozesse in erheblichem Maße. (IAB2)

Auf einer Seminarveranstaltung zum Thema in Hannover (Dez. 1991) ging es darum, Ergebnisse verschiedener Forschungsansätze und -methoden zu einer Fragestellung auszutauschen, die in der öffentlichen Diskussion immer stärkere Aufmerksamkeit erfährt. Von HIS wurden Ergebnisse überwiegend quantitativ orientierter und bundesweit repräsentativer Befragungen beigesteuert. Referentinnen aus universitären Forschungszusammenhängen haben ihr Gewicht stärker auf qualitative Methoden gelegt. (pmb)

The outer circle : women in the scientific community

Inhalt: "Science, historically, has been a man's field. With few exceptions, well-educated, eminently capable women scientists have traditionally been relegated to less influential positions, working as laboratory assistants or assistant professors while their male counterparts receive tenure, recognition, and salary increases. What are the reasons for this continuing exclusion of women from science's 'inner circle'? 'The Outer Circle: Women in the Scientific Community' is a groundbreaking sociological study of the place of women in the largely male-dominated world of modern-day science. It explores the subtle alienation of women scientists - and its profound effect on their work. Though the number of women in science has virtually tripled in recent years, women scientists remain an unrewarded minority, and their contributions still lag far behind." (author's abstract).
