本书描述了科学和工程领域女性教师面临的许多问题,并给出了美国各地学术机构广泛接受的解决方案。本书借鉴了科学家和工程师、社会科学家和组织行为专家以及大学管理人员的专业知识,是第一本描述全国学术机构所采取的各种创新努力的合集。从关注如何在小型教学机构中培养女性的学术成功,到如何利用互动剧场促进教师对院系文化的反思,再到特定院系如何为女性科学成功创造和维持健康的氛围,“转变科学与工程”中的文章表明,创造维持和提升女性科学家和工程师的工作环境可以使女性、男性和代表性不足的少数群体受益。
This book depicts the many issues women faculty in science and engineering face, and gives solutions that can be widely accepted at academic institutions around the U.S. Drawing on the expertise of scientists and engineers, social scientists and specialists in organizational behavior, and university administrators, this is the first collection to describe the variety of innovative efforts academic institutions around the country have undertaken. From focusing on how to foster women's academic success in small teaching institutions, to how to use interactive theater to promote faculty reflection about departmental culture, to how a particular department created and maintained a healthy climate for women's scientific success, the essays in ""Transforming Science and Engineering"" illustrate that creating work environments that sustain and advance women scientists and engineers benefit women, men, and underrepresented minorities.
