Gender and STEM (eBook, ePUB)

The Indian Context

Beschreibung

This book studies the prevalence of gender inequalities in the domains of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in India. It explores the paradox of an increasing number of women pursuing higher education in STEM fields while a relatively low percentage enter the job market. The book analyzes the factors that contribute to the loss of potential contributions from women in science. It underscores the need to understand the construction of masculinity and femininity, as well as male privilege and female disadvantage and how these concepts are associated with STEM.

Lucid, topical, and rich in empirical data, this book will be indispensable for scholars and researchers of women's studies, gender studies, sociology of science, science and technology studies, political studies and public policy. It will also be useful to policymakers, organizations, and professionals working in the STEM fields.

Autor

Namrata Gupta has been working on gender in science and engineering since 2002 when she obtained her PhD in Sociology (IIT Kanpur). Her research focuses on how the participation and rise of women scientists in academia and research laboratories are affected by the organizational aspects, patriarchal socio-cultural norms, and a lack of universalism in science. Her research also includes the study of women engineering students, the relationship between gender and technology, and gender and high-tech entrepreneurship. She has several publications to her credit in collaboration with renowned international researchers. She has been a recipient of several fellowships and grants from the Indian Council of Social Science Research (ICSSR). She has also been a member of the Editorial Board of the journal Work, Employment and Society since 2021 and an Editorial Board member of the UNESCO publication A Braided River: The Universe of Indian Women in Science (Jan 2022); and invited to participate in national and international workshops including those funded by the NSF (the US).
