摘要 在获得地球科学学位方面，女性的比例仍然不足。一些学科（特别是地质学）需要参与“现场体验”，学生和教师在偏远地区进行数周的地质过程研究。尽管欢迎任何学生参与，但研究发现这些户外空间体现了男性领域的证据。在这项探索性研究中，我们研究了美国 15 名教师和 36 名学生使用的排他性和包容性性别话语，这些话语描述了他们对女性进行地质实地考察的看法。使用 STEMinism 框架，我们分析了排他性和包容性性别话语，因为它分为三类：自然/本质差异、个人偏好和社会化。我们的研究结果揭示了排他性性别话语的持续存在，但也表明性别假设正在通过包容性话语受到挑战。
ABSTRACT Women continue to remain underrepresented in geoscience degree attainment. Several disciplines (specifically geology) require participation in ‘field experiences’ in which students and faculty engage for weeks in a remote location to study geologic processes. Although any student is welcome to participate, studies find evidence of these outdoor spaces embodying a masculine domain. In this exploratory study, we examine the exclusive and inclusive gendered discourses used by 15 faculty and 36 students in the US that describe their perception of women doing geology fieldwork. Using a STEMinism framework, we analyse the exclusive and inclusive gendered discourse as it falls into three categories: natural/essentialized differences, individual preferences, and socialization. Our findings reveal the persistence of an exclusive gendered discourse, yet also indicate that gendered assumptions are being challenged through an inclusive discourse.
