دانلود کتاب Covert Discrimination And Women In The Sciences

The process of achieving equal opportunity for professional
advancement involves not only legal issues but also psychological
and social ones . This book deals with the barriers
that can hinder professional development, discussed in the
context of women in the sciences.

Five issues are raised. First, what behavior constitutes
discrimination, how is it defined operationally, and what
federal and local programs have been implemented to remove
discriminating practices? Second, what factors other than
obvious hiring and promotional practices can hinder women in
their professional development? Third, what pressures operate
to deflect women from scientific careers and how can these
problems be resolved so that more women will feel free to
choose scientific careers? Fourth, what is the interplay between
individuals and institutions in the process of promotion
and tenure or other processes of professional advancement?
And finally, are there differences in the ways that the performances
of men and women are judged, and if so, how can
this be changed?
