Collaborative Ethnography and Matters of Care in Counterspaces
This paper offers a reflexive analysis of an interdisciplinary and cross-race collaboration to advance equity in engineering called LATTICE (Launching Academics on the Tenure-Track: an Intentional Community in Engineering). We engage two bodies of scholarship—matters of care in feminist science and technology studies (STS) and critical race theory on counterspaces—to theorize on the data infrastructure and narrative practices that we developed wh…
Introduction: Caring for Equitable Relations in Interdisciplinary Collaborations
Collaborative research between scholars of science and technology studies (STS)and scholars of science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) is a growing trend. The papers assembled in thisSpecial Section offer both embodied and empirical knowledge on how ethnographers negotiate our roles in integrative research when constrained by what our technoscientific collaborators value, what funders demand, what our home institutions expect, what we w…
Sheltering: Care Tactics for Ethnography Attentive to Intersectionality and Underrepresentation in Technoscience
Designing ethnographic research on the technoscience workforce according to intersectionality theory presents both opportunities and constraints. On the one hand, the pursuit of justice in technoscience requires attending to differences between scientists who have been disenfranchised from knowledge production due to racism and sexism. On the other hand, sharing the lived experiences of severely underrepresented members of technoscience heightens…
Negotiating boundaries: An intersectional collaboration to advance women academics in engineering
This paper draws on data from the National Science Foundation (NSF) ADVANCE-funded LATTICE program (Launching Academics on the Tenure-Track: an Intentional Community in Engineering) to examine how a diverse group of women worked across social and professional identities to support early-career women in academic engineering. We used ethnography to elucidate the social dynamics and power relations involved in forming a coherent group identity for t…
Articulating a Succinct Description: An Applied Method for Catalyzing Cultural Change
Articulating a Succinct Description uses ethnographic data to create case study interventions facilitated with people who belong to the culture with whom the ethnographer is engaged. We do so in order to disseminate research findings, address problems presented in the case, and collect additional data for further collective analysis. Further, Articulating a Succinct Description is designed as a means of intervention for underrepresented group mem…
The revolution will not be supervised”: Consent and open secrets in data science
The social impacts of computer technology are often glorified in public discourse, but there is growing concern about its actual effects on society. In this article, we ask: how does “consent” as an analytical framework make visible the social dynamics and power relations in the capture, extraction, and labor of data science knowledge production? We hypothesize that a form of boundary violation in data science workplaces—gender harassment—may cor…
Majorism: Neoliberalism in Student Culture
Declining support for US higher education and the corporatization of this institution shape students' experiences. This ethnography describes a campus culture stratified by an ideology called "majorism." Majorism, a term particular to this study's site, is the preferential treatment of science and technology over the Liberal Arts. By understanding majorism through the lived experiences of undergraduates, we can better understand what the US acade…
Promoting gender diversity in STEM faculty through leadership development: From local and national leadership workshops to the online Lead-it-Yourself! toolkit
Purpose The advancement of equity, diversity and inclusion in higher education is dependent on institutional culture changes in academia. Faculty equity, diversity and inclusion efforts must engage departmental leadership. The purpose of this paper is to describe the growth and expansion of the ADVANCE leadership program at the University of Washington (UW) for department chairs that was designed to provide department chairs the skills, community…
Different isn't free: Gender @ work in a digital world
US society is thoroughly computerized and the majority of its population engages in activities involving computers. Why, then, does computer science and engineering (CSE) remain highly male-dominated and seemingly impervious to desegregation? This study explores how CSE professionals in corporations and universities navigate and subvert male hegemony to persist. I document practices in CSE that reproduce the ideological union between masculinity …
