摘要

很多研究都在探究为什么女性不参与物理学研究,或者为什么女性在物理学领域的流失率很高;本研究关注的是精英女性学术物理学家,以及她们是如何在自己的领域坚持下来并取得成功的。与研究流失或不参与的原因不同,本研究重点关注六位精英女性学术物理学家在男性主导的领域中蓬勃发展的策略。通过半结构化的生活史访谈,参与者的叙述揭示了她们的性别身份是混合的:她们都认为自己是女性,但通过积极体现通常阻碍女性参与物理学研究的四种相同特征,表现出一种特殊的男性气质。通过这一视角,我们可以发现这些女性--她们各自细分领域的先驱--是如何积极地与充满敌意的环境进行谈判并取得成功的。这些发现让我们深入了解了女性物理学家为了追寻自己的激情而构建的身份;了解她们做出这些选择的原因,为物理系的变革以及科学教育界向年轻物理学家传递的信息提供了机会。

Being a physicist: Gendered identity negotiations on the pathways to becoming an elite female physicist in the United Kingdom
Much research investigates why women do not participate in physics, or why female attrition in physics is high; this study focuses on elite female academic physicists and how they have persisted and succeeded in their fields. As opposed to researching reasons for attrition or not participating, this study focuses on six elite female academic physicists' strategies for flourishing in a male‐dominated field. Through semi‐structured life‐history interviews, the participants' narratives revealed their gendered identities to be hybrid: they all identified as female, but performed a particular kind of masculinity by actively embodying four of the same characteristics that normally deter females from participating in physics. This perspective is used to discover how these women, pioneers in their subfields, actively negotiated hostile environments and became successful. These findings give insight into the identities female physicists construct so that they can follow their passion; understanding why they made these choices provides an opportunity to make change in physics departments as well as the messages the science education community sends to young physicists.
