摘要

近几十年来,酷儿群体的社会政治环境发生了巨大变化;然而,进展既缓慢又不平衡。虽然这在职业和私人生活的许多领域都很明显,但这项研究的重点是酷儿学生在美国高校STEM学习环境中的经历。具体来说,我们探讨了学生对他们的STEM经历和愿望的临时性和未来的表达。参与酷儿理论,尤其是酷儿对时间和空间的表述,提醒我们注意到过去几十年社会政治发展的重要性——尤其是新自由主义政治在STEM学术领域以及同性恋和酷儿政治领域的兴起和巩固。通过研究酷儿的时代性和空间性、新自由主义和同一性转向,我们发现了三个相互依存的主题:(1)与新自由主义国家相关的学术学科中酷儿政治的(重新)谈判;(2)同时驾驭酷儿和STEM所需的自我、时间和空间的多重分叉;(3)旨在调和酷儿身份、新自由主义和STEM的未来乌托邦预测的发展。这些发现表明,酷儿身份和STEM领域之间存在紧张关系,这种紧张关系不是来自这些领域本身的性质,而是来自科学与新自由主义经济的相互联系。这种紧张关系不仅构成了参与者目前在STEM学习空间的经历,也影响了他们对自己作为酷儿科学家的未来的看法。

Queer science: Temporality and futurity for queer students in STEM
The sociopolitical landscape for queer people has changed dramatically in recent decades; however, progress has been both halting and uneven. While this is evident in many areas of professional and private life, this study focuses on the experiences of queer students in STEM learning environments in US colleges and universities. Specifically, we explore student expressions of temporality and futurity with regards to their STEM experiences and aspirations. Engagement with queer theory, especially queer formulations of time and space, alerted us to the importance of sociopolitical developments of the past several decades—particularly the rise and entrenchment of neoliberal politics in both academic STEM arenas and gay and queer politics. Engaging with queer temporality and spatiality, neoliberalism, and the homonormative turn, we found three interdependent themes: (1) the (re)negotiation of queer politics within academic disciplines linked to the neoliberal state; (2) the multiple bifurcations of self, time, and space required to simultaneously navigate queerness and STEM; and (3) the development of utopian projections of the future intended to reconcile queer identity, neoliberalism, and STEM. These findings point to a tension between queer identities and STEM fields arising not from the nature of the fields themselves but from science’s interconnectedness with a neoliberal economy. This tension not only structures participants’ current experiences in STEM learning spaces but also flavors the way they consider their futures as queer scientists.
