善意白人男性物理学家如何维持对不平等的无知并为不作为辩护
How well-intentioned white male physicists maintain ignorance of inequity and justify inaction
AI总结：
本研究通过访谈27位自认进步的白人男性物理学者，揭示他们虽声称反对不平等，却通过否认身边不平等、归咎于大社会系统和为不行动辩护等话语，无意中维持了白人男性特权，并提出了促进其参与改革的建议。
摘要：
背景：我们呈现了对27位自认为是进步的白人男性物理教师和研究生关于物理学中种族与性别问题的访谈分析。白人男性主导了大多数STEM领域，并且在地位和影响力职位（如正教授、系主任、院长等）中尤为过度代表，这使他们成为实施系统性改革的潜在强大群体。尽管他们宣称对不平等感到愤怒并有意解决，但他们经常参与最终支持白人男性特权现状的信念、言论和（不）行动模式，这与他们的意图相悖。\n结果：我们访谈的白人男性物理学家使用了多种支持种族主义和性别歧视规范的话语，并将自己定位为无力打破自身特权。我们呈现并讨论了数据中出现的三个总体主题，展示了高智商、善意且有特权的人如何尽管有意图却维持其权力和特权：1）否认不平等就在他们身边；2）将不平等的原因归咎于他们几乎无法影响的大型社会系统；3）为不行动辩护。\n结论：尽管这些男性具有进步思想、善意和高智商，但他们经常在物理学中默许种族主义和性别歧视。我们最后提出建议，帮助这些男性利用他们所拥有的权力，更好地与女性和有色人种合作，以打破物理学中的不平等。
英文摘要：
Background: We present an analysis of interviews with 27 self-identified progressive white-male physics faculty and graduate students discussing race and gender in physics. White men dominate most STEM fields and are particularly overrepresented in positions of status and influence (i.e. full professors, chairs, deans, etc.), positioning them as a potentially powerful demographic for enacting systemic reform. Despite their proclaimed outrage at and interest in addressing inequity, they frequently engage in patterns of belief, speech and (in)action that ultimately support the status quo of white male privilege in opposition to their intentions. Results: The white male physicists we interviewed used numerous discourses which support racist and sexist norms and position them as powerless to disrupt their own privilege. We present and discuss three overarching themes, seen in our data, demonstrating how highly intelligent, well-intentioned people of privilege maintain their power and privilege despite their own intentions: 1) Denying inequity is physically near them, 2) Locating causes of inequity in large societal systems over which they have little influence and 3) Justifying inaction. Conclusions: Despite being progressively minded, well-meaning, and highly intelligent, these men are frequently complicit in racism and sexism in physics. We end with recommendations for helping these men to engage the power they hold to better work with women and people of color in disrupting inequity in physics.
