Training for and pursuing a career in science can be treacherous
for women; many more begin than ultimately complete at every stage.
Characterizing this as a pipeline problem, however, leads to a
focus on individual women instead of structural conditions. The
goal of the book is to offer an alternative model that better
articulates the ideas of agency, constraint, and variability along
the path to scientific careers for women. The chapters in this
volume apply the metaphor of the road to a variety of fields and
moments that are characterized as exits, pathways, and potholes.
The scholars featured in this volume engaged purposefully in
translation of sociological scholarship on gender, work, and
organizations. They focus on the themes that emerge from their
scholarship that add to or build on our existing knowledge of
scientific work, while identifying tools as well as challenges to
diversifying science. This book contains a multitude of insights
about navigating the road while training for and building a career
in science. Collectively, the chapters exemplify the utility of
this approach, provide useful tools, and suggest areas of
exploration for those aiming to broaden the participation of women
and minorities. Although this book focuses on gendered constraints,
we are attentive to fact that gender intersects with other
identities, such as race/ethnicity and nativity, both of which
influence participation in science. Several chapters in the volume
speak clearly to the experience of underrepresented minorities in
science and others consider the circumstances and integration of
non-U.S. born scientists, referred to in this volume as
international scientists. Disaggregating gender deepens our
understanding and illustrates how identity shapes the contours of
the scientific road.
