1 Women in Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM) Education: Internalization Oppression & Sexual Division Labor A Case Study at Department Metallurgy and Material Engineering, University of Indonesia Andi Misbahul Pratiwi Gender Studies, School of Strategic and Global Studies University of Indonesia Jl. Salemba Raya No.4 Jakarta Pusat- Indonesia andimisbah@gmail.com Abstract Globally less than 30% of women are involved in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) field, for both education and careers. Feminist science and technology studies argue that the lack of women's representation in science and technology is caused of gender construction & bias in science. Feminist scholarship suspects that there was a bias of science in its process and implementation. The implication of the lack of women in the STEM field is that women are far from good job access and strategic position in STEM field and technology production. This study aims to track the complexity of the situation experienced by female students in STEM, a case study in Department of Metallurgy and Material Engineering, University of Indonesia. This qualitative research conducts women in Metallurgy and Material Engineering, University of Indonesia which focuses on their experiences as students and teachers in STEM Education. This study shows the correlation between women and technology has been kept away-which affects the lack of women's representation in STEM study. This study uses the theory of feminist science and technology studies, the theory of self from Diana Meyers and the concept of false consciousness offered Simone de Beauvoir & Pheterson. The results of this study show that (1) Gender stereotype of certain education field that affecting the perception and choice of study & carrier of female students. The STEM field is often embedded with a masculine image; (2) There is a systematic sexual based division of labor in the laboratory. The dualism values of masculine-feminine, hard skill-soft skill, technical-administrative, have been internalized within the subject. Keywords: women in STEM education, feminist science and technology studies, self-determination, internalization of oppression, self-transformation. Preface Police: You have identification on you? KJ: NASA, sir Police: Now, that’s something. I had no idea, they hired... DV: There are quite a few women working in the space program The above conversation is compiled from the Hidden Figures movie (2016) that narrates if there is an existed doubt related to the ability of women who have careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The film features three stories of women as the main characters, Katherine Johnson (mathematician and geometry), Dorothy Vaughan (supervisor and programmer), Mary Jackson (a technician). According to the authors, the film politically deconstructs STEM as a masculine space. In addition, Hidden Figures film also narrates the complex problems and struggles faced by black women in America in the 60's to
