Publisher: Universidad de Guadalajara
Description: In this article we studied the academic training abroad of a group of Mexican women scientists, their return to the country, and their incorporation to and professional practice in public universities. We analyzed their motivations to take up their scientific careers, the main challenges they faced in the field of science, as well as the strategies they deployed as mechanisms of permanence and progress in those research spaces. We conducted semi-structured interviews with female scientists in the areas of engineering and physics-mathematics from three different generations, all of them members of Mexico’s National Research Network. Among their strategies for advancement we identified the ability to generate opportunities for access to resources and networks for their academic and professional development was identified.
En este artículo, se estudió la formación académica internacional de un grupo de científicas mexicanas, su retorno al país, su incorporación y su ejercicio profesional en universidades públicas. Se analizaron sus motivaciones para elegir carreras científicas, los principales desafíos que enfrentaron en el campo de la ciencia, así como las estrategias que desplegaron como mecanismos de permanencia y avance en esos espacios de investigación. Se realizaron entrevistas semi estructuradas a científicas de las áreas de ingenierías y físico matemáticas, pertenecientes a tres generaciones distintas, todas integrantes del Sistema Nacional de Investigadores. Entre las estrategias de avance, se identificó la habilidad para generar oportunidades de acceso a recursos y redes para su desarrollo académico y profesional.
