Amy Sue Bix's research while affiliated with Iowa State University and other places

... Thus, the religion-based opposition described by some participants may have diminished as the pandemic continued. If so, previous research (Bix, 2020) suggests that affected religious colleges will develop their own solutions rather than adopting those preferred by general colleges. Indeed, our findings suggest that individualization of the adoption process characterizes not only individual academics (Liu et al., 2020) but also individual colleges. ...

... Collaborative autoethnography offers an opportunity to understand an experience from multiple viewpoints and perspectives, thus demonstrating that there is not a "single story" to a given experience. Multiple perspectives are particularly important in studying the experiences within a disciplinary community entrenched in ideals of White masculinity-"think engineer, think White man"-that lingers in student, faculty, and professional imaginaries, serving to reproduce inequity in everyday interactions (Bix, 2004;Hewlett et al., 2008;Adams, 2019;Eastman et al., 2019). Collaborative autoethnographic methodologies allow us to look closely at those everyday practices from multiple viewpoints, and, through writing such stories, illuminate the power relations of the larger social system. ...

... ions demonstrated how unstandardized methods and poor working conditions hindered the productivity, and hence the pay, of working women. The article discussed Wyatt's correspondence with Fredrick Taylor and his positive critique of Clark and Wyatt's findings. The remaining four articles published in 2000 were evenly split between events and topics. Bix (2000) discussed how during the 1920s and 1930s, the US Department of Labor's Women's Bureau produced films to not only market scientific management and workplace safety to a wide audience, but to demonstrate the important role of women workers in the country's economic growth. Oldenziel (2000) detailed how from 1922 to 1946, the members of th ...

... Likewise, racialized and male-gendered views of engineering education suggest that engineers operate from distant pedestals, paying more attention to cognitive dimensions of learning than affective dimensions. Researchers argue that these structures have historically been socially constructed to marginalize minorities from engineering (Bix, 2002;Pawley, 2019). The dichotomous view of personality traits such as masculine (logical, rational, aggressive) and feminine (intuitive, social, caring) preclude acts of care and attention to students' needs as nondesirable or less valued traits (Connell & Pearse, 2014). ...

... Según el informe pisa de 2016, en Chile el 36.9 % de los chicos y el 39 % de las chicas declararon querer dedicarse a una profesión relacionada con las ciencias. Sin embargo, el área de la ciencia a intervenir no es la misma, ya que con mayor frecuencia que los chicos, las chicas se ven como profesionales de la salud, y prácticamente en todos los países, los niños aspiran a ser informáticos, científicos o ingenieros más a menudo que las niñas (Bix, 2004;Bystydzienski, 2004;Sullivan, 2007). ...

... Within patient activism of this kind, patients act collectively to access biomedi-cal resources, to change drug-testing protocols, to generate and have a say in directing research funds, to improve patient care and to change public perceptions of particular diseases and patients. Although this may sometimes involve collaboration with the pharmaceutical industry or government (see, for example, Epstein, 1996;2003;Batt, 1996;Bix, 1997), the aim is to create new forms of (somatic) subjectivity through collective activity. ...

... From the times of the British industrial revolution, through the displacement of the 1930s in the USA, to the arguments on technological unemployment, numerous individuals have expressed doubts regarding the advantages of using machines and have fiercely refused to implement any kind of modernization in industry (Lipsitz & Bix, 2001;Soete & ter Weel, 2001;Stern, 1937). This was followed by a new approach developed in the 1960s, accepting the introduction of machines in production processes. ...

... I touch on how, in the 1920s and 1930s, euthenics moved into colleges to work at improving the domestic environment, the physical and sexual environment for married couples, and the psychological environment for children. Women were active contributors both in early eugenics research institutes and as field workers for the expanding collection regime of Charles Davenport's Eugenics Records Office (Richmond 2001;Bix 1997). They were also field workers at Vassar College's Institute of Euthenics. ...

... The solving of problems in the domestic domain, namely home economics, was given a subordinate gendered role in educational institutions (Bix, 2002;Pawley, 2008). But the structural barriers were contested comparatively early on (e.g., by early female engineers who in spite of being ignored and unsupported made technological advances and a strong case for their own importance in the field), and the events of World War II and the 1960s protests brought strides, albeit contested, for available educational and professional options for female engineers (Bix, 2000;Oldenziel, 2000). Over the 20th century, however, cultural norms perhaps came to dominate the forces working for gender exclusion. ...
