Women - Workplace
女性與職場
Another factor that is often under consideration in measurements of worth of an individual is our work and our positions at work. Closely related to the topic of gender's effects and influences in society is the issue of women in the workplace. While it is clear that women have contributed value at an equal level as men throughout history, in some (many) countries, it has not been until recent history where women have been (more) fully recognized and integrated into the formal “professional world”. This is doubly true in industries such as STEM and in managerial positions. The reasons for this are of course multi-faceted, and for our learning the class focused on the role of education, guidance, and expectations directed towards women, and how these shaped and led them to where they are in society at present. To get a better picture of this topic, we interviewed some of our friends, females in design and tech, to share their memories and experiences in life, society , and the workplace.
在衡量一個人的「價值」時，另一個經常會被納入考量的因素為他的工作和職位。在探討性別觀對於社會造成的影響時，其中一個息息相關的議題便是職場中的女性。儘管歷史證明女性也能帶來與男性不相上下的貢獻價值，但在一些 (許多) 國家，女性直到近期才被 (更加) 地認可並融入到各種「專業領域」。在 STEM 領域和管理職位等，情況則更加如此。造成這種現象的原因自然是來自多方面的，我們的班級將學習重點放在了女性接受到的教育、引導和來自社會的期望，以及這些因素如何塑造和造就女性現今在社會上的位置。 為了更佳地瞭解這個議題，我們採訪了一些身邊的朋友、在設計和科技領域的女性，請他們分享不論是在生活、社會和職場上的回憶和經歷。
