“Women in Global Science: Advancing Careers
through International Collaboration”
with Kathrin Zippel,
Northeastern University (Boston, USA)
Abstract
Scientific and engineering research is increasingly global, and international collaboration can be essential to academic success. Yet
even as administrators and policymakers extol the benefits of global science, few recognize the diversity of international research collaborations and their participants, or take gendered inequalities into account. Zippel considers systematically the challenges
and opportunities that the globalization of scientific work brings to U.S. academics, especially for women faculty. While some have approached underrepresentation as a national concern with a national solution, Zippel highlights how gender relations are reconfigured
in global academia. The case of STEM fields shows how gendered cultures and structures in academia persists and contribute to an underrepresentation of women also in global science. But for U.S. women in particular, international collaboration offers opportunities
to step outside of exclusionary networks at home. International collaboration is not the panacea to gendered inequalities in academia, but, as Zippel argues, international considerations can be key to ending the steady attrition of women in STEM fields and
developing a more inclusive academic world.
There will be comments by Karin Schönpflug (IHS), Maria Schreiber (University of Vienna) and Laura Wiesböck (University of Vienna).
The event will be moderated by Angela Wroblewski (IHS).
We are looking forward to seeing you!
