Abstract

This volume is a first step in expanding the dialogue on women in science and technology (S&T) as an international issue, noting that critical challenges remain for understanding the professional lives and contributions of women in science around the world. Even with expanded degree attainment in some fields, gender disparities in S&T workforce participation and status remain significant and the underrepresentation of women in science has been recognized as a major social, political, and economic issue. While some gains have been made in advancing women in related fields, a great deal of work remains to be done to understand and address fundamental issues attending scientific participation, status, and productivity in terms of gender dynamics and representation. Indeed, the examination of selected disciplines in this volume helped to underscore the importance of attending to the varied mechanics of scientific workforce capabilities and conditions contingent on the field-specific production of knowledge.
