摘要

工程领域仍然存在非主导群体代表性不足的问题,尽管各方共同努力实现变革,特别是在增加妇女参与该领域方面。学科变革的一种方式是通过学习以及个人和实践的共同构成;随着新生成为工程师,他们塑造并改变了实践。在这篇文章中,我探讨了一群学生是否以及如何通过一个预先设定的过程来改变工程领域,以更包容性取向,并认为性别和性取向以有意义的方式交叉。基于人种学数据和定性访谈,我的发现表明,学生能够改变工程实践中与性身份相关的某些方面,但这些变化尚未影响性别不平等的体验。尽管人们越来越认识到工程中的性取向,但女性仍面临着男性所没有的歧视。我的结论是,在努力实现这一领域的性别平等方面,我并没有保持失败主义,而是认为,预先设想为实现性别平等带来了希望。

Transformation and Stasis: An Exploration of LGBTQA Students Prefiguring the Social Practices of Engineering for Greater Inclusivity
The field of engineering continues to suffer from the underrepresentation of non-dominant groups despite concerted efforts towards change, particularly with respect to increasing women’s participation in the field. One way transformation in disciplines happens is through learning and the co-constitution of individuals and practices; as new students become engineers, they shape and transform the practice. In this article, I explore if and how a group of students are transforming the field of engineering through a process of prefiguration to be more inclusive of sexual orientation with the view that gender and sexual orientation intersect in meaningful ways. Based on ethnographic data and qualitative interviews, my findings suggest that students are able to change some aspects of engineering practice related to sexual identity, but that these changes have yet to impact the experience of gendered inequity. Despite increased recognition of sexual orientation in engineering, women continue to experience discrimination that men do not. Rather than remain defeatist in attempts to reach gender parity in the field, I conclude that prefiguration offers hope that it could be otherwise.
