Titel: Laughing among engineers: About the interaction of gender, technology and humour
Beschreibung: Based on various theories and findings about humour, particularly about gender and humour in the workplace (Freud 1905, Kanter 1977, Kehily & Nayak 1997,Husu 2001, Collinson 2002, Friedman & Friedman 2003, Kotthoff 2005), I will discuss the interaction of gender and humour in engineering and technology research workplaces. This paper is based on data from the European project Prometea “Empowering Women Engineers Careers in Industrial and Academic Research” (Godfroy-Genin 2008), which was conducted to improve the understanding of genderedness in engineering and technology research settings, in order to recommend measures for gender equal career settings in academic and industrial research in Europe. 83 interviews and 44 focus groups were carried out in twelve European countries and in Chile in 2006. These single and group interviews were originally conducted in the eleven different national languages; afterwards the transcripts were summarized, translated into English and entered into a shared database . This web-based database allowed and still allows the various European (and Chilean) project teams to generate answers from all interviewees to special questions
