The authors contribute to a better understanding of the current mobilization structures of women’s movements in Taiwan. Toward that goal, this paper uses the lived experiences of seven feminist scholars to explore efforts to promote gender equality in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Drawing on Bereni’s theory of women’s cause fields and Meyerson’s concepts of tempered radicals, our analysis examines the seven feminist scholars in terms of their strategies, accomplishments, and obstacles they encountered at universities and in scenarios dominated by the state, academia, and civil society. It then discusses some of the key factors that are making these scholars critical catalysts for change. Our conclusion is that engaging a mix of female insiders and influential men in STEM positions will be a major strategic focus for future movement mobilization. In the past, this has been the greatest challenge for feminist efforts. |
