摘要:

性别平等是天体物理学领域面临的最大问题之一,人们对解决天文学领域的性别差距问题有着广泛的兴趣。这些主题的许多研究都是由专业天文学家进行的,他们对性别研究和社会学等领域的研究相对不熟悉。因此,他们采用了一种规范性的性别观点,即“男性”或“女性”的二元选择,使那些性别不符合这种模式的天文学家完全脱离了这种研究。性别的简化框架和过分强调量化作为性别化现象的指标,对边缘化性别的人有害,特别是那些生活在种族、残疾和社会经济地位等多重边缘化轴心交叉点的人。为了使天文学界在我们进入下一个十年时能够最好地为其边缘化成员服务,必须发展一种新的范式。本文旨在通过建议更好的调查做法和基于更复杂的性别方法的机构政策,解决天文学中性别平等的未来。

英文摘要:

Gender equity is one of the biggest issues facing the field of astrophysics, and there is broad interest in addressing gender disparities within astronomy. Many studies of these topics have been performed by professional astronomers who are relatively unfamiliar with research in fields such as gender studies and sociology. As a result, they adopt a normative view of gender as a binary choice of 'male' or 'female', leaving astronomers whose genders do not fit within that model out of such research entirely. Reductive frameworks of gender and an overemphasis on quantification as an indicator of gendered phenomena are harmful to people of marginalized genders, especially those who live at the intersections of multiple axes of marginalization such as race, disability, and socioeconomic status. In order for the astronomy community to best serve its marginalized members as we move into the next decade, a new paradigm must be developed. This paper aims to address the future of gender equity in astronomy by recommending better survey practices and institutional policies based on a more complex approach to gender.
