Abstract

The technosciences are still missing an adequate recognition of women as potential workforce – despite a shortage of skilled workers. This anthology, edited by Waltraud Ernst, discusses the efforts and strategies that are used to create equal opportunities, aiming at overcoming gender hierarchies in the fundamentally innovative professional fields of techno- and natural sciences. This volume contains highly interesting, in parts even unique insights into how the connections between technology and gender are constructed and discussed in various research areas and how the realization of equal opportunities is aspired as social innovation.
