    Sammanfattning : Denna avhandling baseras på empiriska data om kvinnors uppfinnande och relaterar huvudsakligen till teorier från den teknofeministiska skärningspunkten mellan feministiska studier och teknik- och vetenskapsstudier, där såväl genus som teknik ses som skapade av människor i interaktion med vår förståelse av verkligheten och med verkliga aktörer. Data om kvinnors uppfinnande insamlade från patentregister och via intervjuer utgör den empiriska grund från vilken en alternativ bild av uppfinnandet begreppsliggörs, sätts samman och diskuteras.

    Sammanfattning : The aim of this thesis is to interrogate a particular understanding of gender and technology as co-constructed from the standpoint of sexual difference theory by showing what this conceptualization of gender and technology excludes. It is also an attempt to enable an understanding of what is excluded by elaborating upon the conditions for thinking technology, gender and sexual difference differently. LÄS MER

    Sammanfattning : Abstract The purpose of this doctoral thesis is to shed light on, explain, and problematize women’s and men’s paths both to and within the profession of engineer. Computer and mechanical engineers are in focus and the overarching issues that this thesis attempts to answer are: How can women’s and men’s paths to the profession of engineer be explained and what has governed/motivated their choice of education? How do women’s and men’s career patterns look in professional life, and how can these patterns be explained? This study is based on a social-constructivistic approach, entailing a focus on how choices of education and profession have been negotiated through social and cultural practices, norms, and values.
