Reversing the Gaze
This article reverses the gaze on research on highly skilled migrant (HSM) women by analysing how the patriarchy of the destination country impacts their experience within the workplace. Most literature focuses on how HSM women's experiences in the workplace and at home in the destination country are shaped by the patriarchy of sending countries. This article turns the gaze on the destination country's patriarchal relations by utilising the exper…
Perspectives of Distance Learning Students on How to Transform Their Computing Curriculum
Recent years have seen a growing momentum within UK Higher Education institutions to examine the colonial legacy entanglements of teaching materials and knowledge production, as institutions explore what it means to ‘decolonise the curriculum’. While the movement began in the University of Cape Town, South Africa, in response to a student call for the statue of Cecil Rhodes to be removed, elsewhere this has become a top-down imperative from insti…
Combining feminist pedagogy and transactional distance to create gender-sensitive technology-enhanced learning
In this paper, we argue for a new synthesis of two pedagogic theories: feminist pedagogy and transactional distance, which explain why and how distance education has been such a positive system for women in a national distance learning university. We illustrate this with examples of positive action initiatives for women. The concept of transactional distance allows us to explore distance as a form of psychological and communication space, not sim…
Rebooting and Rerouting
This paper expands on previous work about women's non‐linear and frayed careers by examining the experiences of women who have attempted to return to science, engineering and technology (SET) professions in the UK and Republic of Ireland after taking a career break. These women potentially offer an important perspective on gender and career, because of the deep‐rooted, gendered associations of science and technology with masculinity. Drawing on q…
Women Scientists and Engineers in European Companies
Unlike the rise in women's participation in other professional sectors, women still form a minority of professional scientists and engineers, especially in multinational companies. Moreover, embedded gendered cultures in the science, engineering and technology (SET) sectors continue to affect the career progression of professional women, with few women reaching senior management positions and many leaving and failing to return. This article exami…
Entitled to a Sustainable Career? Motherhood in Science, Engineering, and Technology
Sustaining careers and motherhood are particularly challenging in highly masculinized science, engineering, and technology (SET) sectors. We explore this issue using a social comparison theory perspective, drawing on interviews with professional engineers and scientists from four companies, located in Italy, France, and the Netherlands. We examine how decisions to reduce working hours are influenced by perceived ideological, normative, and policy…
Patterns of online networking for women's career development
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate how women working in science, engineering and technology use online networking, for career and professional development purposes. Design/methodology/approach A combined qualitative and quantitative approach is taken, using interviews for the first phase of the research and online surveys for the second. The findings are discussed and presented with reference to theories on career development and…
