  • Space Girls Katrien Van Der Heyden
    Dia 1 Space girls Katrien Van der Heyden Dia 2 • Geslacht: biologische verschillen tussen mannen en vrouwen Het belangrijkste is te beseffen dat geslacht en gender GEEN synoniemen zijn, want vaak worden ze wel zo gebruikt in de media en in onderzoek. Terwijl geslacht verwijst naar de biologische verschillen zoals borsten, geslachtsdelen, verwijst gender naar de verschillen die cultureel werden opgebouwd. Zo dragen mannen in onze cultuur nooit een rok, maar in Schotland vormt dit geen probleem. Dat wil zeggen dat er naast de biologische verschillen ook een maatschappelijke invulling is van wat mannelijkheid en vrouwelijkheid op een bepaald moment in een bepaalde cultuur betekent. Dit kan gaan over uiterlijke kenmerken zoals rok en broek, maar ook over karaktereigenschappen zoals competitiviteit, assertiviteit, leiderschap (worden als mannelijk gezien) en emotionaliteit, zorgzaamheid, zachtaardigheid (worden als vrouwelijk gezien). Zowel mannen als vrouwen worden (in)direct in de richting geduwd die overeenstemt met het stereotype beeld van hun geslacht. Zo wordt een man die zich emotioneel gedraagt een ‘watje’ genoemd en afgekeurd en een vrouw die assertief is, wordt al snel een ‘bitch’ genoemd. Toch zijn al deze eigenschappen niet mannelijk of vrouwelijk, ze zijn menselijk. (En voor diegenen die nog twijfelen of mannen emotioneel kunnen zijn: Ga eens naar een voetbalmatch kijken). Dat wil dus zeggen dat bij jongens bepaalde eigenschappen worden gestimuleerd en bij meisjes andere. Indien ze zich dan zo gaan gedragen, vergeten we dat dit aangeleerd gedrag is en gaan we snel denken dat het een biologische oorsprong heeft. Dia 3 • Gender: culturele geconstrueerde verschillen tussen mannen en vrouwen Dia 4 Mannen hebben Does size matter? gemiddeld een groter hoofd dan vrouwen: dus, ze zijn intelligenter? Wetenschappelijk onderzoek in de 19e eeuw toonde aan dat mannen gemiddeld een groter hoofd hebben dan vrouwen.

  • NASA Bumps Astronaut Off Space Station Flight in Rare Move 19 January 2018, by Marcia Dunn
    NASA bumps astronaut off space station flight in rare move 19 January 2018, by Marcia Dunn Epps is returning to Houston from Russia, where she'd been training to fly to the space station with a German and Russian. NASA spokeswoman Brandi Dean said Friday it was a decision by NASA, not the Russian Space Agency. African-American astronauts have visited the space station, but Epps would have been the first to live there. Space station crews typically stay for five to six months. NASA assigned her to the flight a year ago. In this Sept. 16, 2014 photo provided by NASA, astronaut Jeanette Epps participates in a spacewalk training session at the Johnson Space Center in Houston. In June 2018, Epps was supposed to be the first African-American to live on the International Space Station, but on Thursday, Jan. 18, 2018, NASA announced it was pulling her off the mission for undisclosed reasons. (Robert Markowitz/NASA via AP) NASA has bumped an astronaut off an upcoming spaceflight, a rare move for the space agency so close to launch. Astronaut Jeanette Epps was supposed to rocket away in early June, and would have been the first African-American to live on the International Space Station. Late Thursday, NASA announced it was pulling Epps off the mission but didn't disclose why. Astronauts have been removed from missions in the past, mostly for health reasons. Epps, an engineer, will be considered for future space missions, according to NASA. She's been replaced by her backup, Serena Aunon- Chancellor, a doctor.

  • Remarks for Administrator Bolden Women's History
    REMARKS FOR ADMINISTRATOR BOLDEN WOMEN'S HISTORY MONTH March 12, 2014 Hello, and welcome to NASA Headquarters. It's always a pleasure to have students with us to learn, as we are this month, about the achievements of women, and also about the achievements of our nation in space. They are numerous and women continue to be crucial to that work. I also want to thank our keynote speaker today, Sandy Magnus. More about her later! We make an effort to include EVERYONE in the conversation at NASA. It's essential, because what we do is tough, and sometimes dangerous and we need everyone's viewpoint. So, let me tell you a little about me, and NASA. 1 I grew up in Columbia, South Carolina. One of the most prominent people in my life was my mother. She was an elementary, junior high and high school librarian during her career – my librarian in junior high school – and my father was a high school teacher as well as my high school football coach. I was truly blessed to have two parents who were career educators, because passions for learning and high expectations for pursuing my education were integral to my growing up. After graduation, I went on to the U.S. Naval Academy and the U.S. Marine Corps. I applied to the astronaut corps with the urging of a good friend and mentor, the late Dr. Ron McNair, and it has been an incredible experience during my career as an astronaut. I was privileged to fly to space four times aboard the space shuttle, including as pilot for the crew that deployed the Hubble Space Telescope.
