This dissertation aimed to analyze the experiences of inclusion and exclusion undergone by female students acquiring an undergraduate degree in Physics at Federal University of Paraíba (UFPB), Brazil. The theoretical approach was based on feminist and gender studies and cultural studies of science, which are interdisciplinary. The methodological approach was qualitative and two strategies of data collection were used in order to analyze the influence of family members and teachers in the choice of Physics, and their formative trajectory at the university: face-to-face and online structured interviews. However, male students’ perspectives were included to analyze the context of gender relations in the field of Physics, and how these relations may disadvantage women in contrast to men. Women's testimonies revealed embarrassing, debilitating and challenging experiences, as well as gender barriers, such as the chilly climate from the beginning, the male image of the Physicist, the lack of credibility of women in the field, and sexism and sexual harassment from male colleagues and professors. In conclusion, the data indicated that in order to remain in the Physics field, female students face gender stereotypes, prejudices, discrimination, sexism and sexual harassment, which remained invisible and naturalized in many situations. / A Física é um campo majoritariamente masculino, e as razões para essa ausência de mulheres não são suficientemente reconhecidas nem investigadas, principalmente no Brasil. Esta dissertação teve como objetivo analisar as experiências vivenciadas pelas alunas no curso de graduação de Física da Universidade Federal da Paraíba (UFPB), o que as inclui e as exclui, como mulheres, em suas trajetórias. Os aportes teóricos utilizados provêm dos estudos feministas e de gênero e dos estudos culturais da ciência, que são interdisciplinares. A metodologia utilizada foi qualitativa, sendo utilizadas duas estratégias de coleta de dados: entrevista estruturada presencial e online para analisar desde a influência dos familiares e professores/as na escolha do curso de Física até o percurso formativo na universidade. No entanto, foram incluídas vozes masculinas para colaborar a pensar sobre o contexto das relações de gênero no campo da Física e como essas relações podem desfavorecer as mulheres em contraste com os homens. As falas femininas revelaram experiências constrangedoras, debilitantes e desafiantes, bem como barreiras de gênero, entre elas: o clima frio na chegada ao curso, a imagem masculina do Físico, a falta de credibilidade das mulheres no campo, e a presença do sexismo e assédio sexual entre colegas e professores. Os dados apontam, em conclusão, que para permanecer no curso de Física as alunas enfrentam estereótipos de gênero, preconceitos, discriminações, sexismo e assédio sexual, que se apresentaram invisibilizados e naturalizados em muitas situações.

A schooling system that claims to offer its students the opportunities to develop their talents and help towards self-determination in their adult lives might be expected to have a career structure itself that demonstrated these virtues, one in which there was equality of the genders in positions of influence and leadership, and no gender stereotyping of roles. Apart from the fairness and consistency of that expectation, it is also reasonable to expect the neutral template of teacher employment and textbook selection in schools. Many children may grow up with few books in their homes but lots of those in their schools. Many of the textbooks used in elementary schools, according to recent studies, contain gender stereotypes. In these, females are rarely found as central characters and when they appear at all, they are often passive figures dependent on male characters. Women are frequently shown in domestic roles / in most textbooks it is assumed that only males &#039 / go out to work&#039 / whereas daughters are the best helpers of their mothers whose sons are allowed to do what they wish. In the light of those allegations, this research is designed as a case study which addresses itself to the aim of looking into stereotyped gender role presentations existing in elementary school textbooks used by the students studying at 1st-5th grades in 2001/2002 academic year of an elementary school placed in Burdur and to see whether these students are affected by the exposure of those stereotyped gender role presentations. For this purpose, the textbooks being studied are analyzed according to pre-set categories to deduce how they include stereotyped gender role presentations and the evaluation of the effects of that exposure on students are made by asking 1st-3rd grade students to draw and 4th-5th grade students to write compositions on a given topic. This study also attempts to find out both whether Turkish elementary school teachers teaching at 1st-5th grades are aware of stereotyped gender role presentations in those textbooks that they use and their own points of view about stereotyped gender role presentations via interviews carried out with them. In conclusion, stereotyped gender role presentations are encountered in those analyzed school textbooks studied at 1st- 5th grades in 2001/2002 academic year of the elementary school placed in Burdur and the perceptions of those presentations are also obtained in the drawn and written productions of the students studied at the same school. Through the teachers&#039 / interviews, various kinds of perceptions towards gender role concept and its stereotyped presentations that take place in those textbooks are observed in their sayings

El presente trabajo analiza la presencia de sesgos de género en reclutadores y su repercusión en la imagen empresarial. Esta particularidad se origina cuando una persona tiene una inclinación o preferencia tanto para el femenino como masculino que, casi siempre, conlleva en perjudicar uno en específico. Esta inclinación ocurre en distintos aspectos de la persona, esencialmente donde se necesita del juicio crítico, por ejemplo, durante la etapa de Reclutamiento. Por ello, la utilización de esta desemejanza en este proceso laboral es suficiente para impactar en la imagen de la empresa. Esta investigación propone desarrollar un estudio cualitativo a empresas en Lima Metropolitana. Se realizarán 20 entrevistas en profundidad a reclutadores y 15 entrevistas simples a jóvenes que hayan pasado por un proceso de inducción en el último año, con la finalidad de analizar, comparar y evaluar las diferentes impresiones o imágenes de acuerdo al tema elegido. / This paper analyzes the presence of gender biases in recruiters and its repercussion on the business image. This distinction originates when a person has an inclination or preference for both the feminine and masculine that, almost always, leads to harming one in specific. This inclination occurs in different aspects of the person, essentially where critical judgment is needed, for example, during the Recruitment stage. Therefore, the use of this dissimilarity in this work process is enough to impact the image of the company. This research proposes to develop a qualitative study of companies in Metropolitan Lima. There will be 20 in-depth interviews with recruiters and 15 simple interviews with young people who have passed an induction process in the last year, in order to analyze, compare and evaluate the different impressions or images according to the chosen topic. / Trabajo de investigación
