Gender differences in graduate students' perspectives on the culture of science
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 9 (2003) No. 2, S. 119-135
Inhalt: 
"In this study, gender differences in graduate students' perspectives on the culture of science were examined in two graduate departments (biology and chemistry) at a large research university. Data from a survey questionnaire from 170 students and interviews with 32 of them indicated that the culture of science as experienced by the participants of this study was characterized by competition, a narrow focus, and a belief in objectivity. These perspectives were particularly common among the female students, who also perceived a role conflict between a successful career in science and having a family. The study shows that although women have greater access to careers in science, the culture of the scientific enterprise continues to be based on the masculine ideals of 17th-century England."

Feminist science in the case of a reform-minded biology department
Quelle: Journal of women and minorities in science and engineering, Vol. 7 (2001) No. 3, S. 173-198
Inhalt: "This study explores how science and scientists were produced and reproduced within
the setting of a university biology department. Building on recent work in the anthropology
of education and feminist science studies, the author explored the reflexive questions
of whether increased women's representation in science changed science practice and
whether changing science practice increased women's representation insolence. The
author examined both the contextual and constitutive values of science as they were
negotiated and played out in the training of scientists in this setting. The author
found some ways in which these values were shifting as more women assumed places of
leadership in the department. At the same time, the author identified other ways in
which the presence of women did not seem to cause the types of changes that feminist
science studies have hypothesized. These findings can be interpreted through the anthropological
perspective of practice theory, in which individuals are seen as exerting agency both
within and against institutional structures." (author's abstract)|
