Gendered Transformations of Academic Institutions in a Globalizing Academic World.

There are two major demographic trends in the science and technology workforce in the United States: the influx of international graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and scholars, and the slower increase of women moving into science and engineering. Universities and funding agencies both shape these processes through policies and organizational practices. This paper argues that effective policies to integrate women into academia need to consider that the sciences today are multinational, multicultural work environments. The paper examines how projects funded through National Science Foundation Advance Institutional Transformation grants could take into account the international diversity among both women and men faculty as well as the globalization of scientific research. The paper concludes that institutional transformation with the goal to integrate women into science and engineering needs to consider gender relations in the context of globalization to be effective. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
