为什么职业性别隔离仍然存在？认为专业社会化的文化和实践有助于使这种隔离永久化，作者研究了工程的案例。通过对学生从大学入学到毕业的采访和日记记录数据，作者展示了社会化如何导致女性对自己“适应”工程文化的信心下降。作者确定了产生这些文化不匹配的三个过程：大学入学时对工程学的取向，课程和团队项目中的入会仪式，以及实习和暑期工作期间预期的社会化。与同事的非正式互动，以及团队和实习中的日常性别歧视，都是造成种族隔离的重要因素。
Why does sex segregation in professional occupations persist? Arguing that the cultures and practices of professional socialization serve to perpetuate this segregation, the authors examine the case of engineering. Using interview and diary entry data following students from college entry to graduation, the authors show how socialization leads women to develop less confidence that they will “fit” into the culture of engineering. The authors identify three processes that produce these cultural mismatches: orientation to engineering at college entry, initiation rituals in coursework and team projects, and anticipatory socialization during internships and summer jobs. Informal interactions with peers and everyday sexism in teams and internships are particularly salient building blocks of segregation.
