Sharon Jean Traweek[1] is associate professor in the Department of Gender Studies and History at University of California, Los Angeles.
Her book Beamtimes and Lifetimes: The World of High Energy Physicists,[2] which explores the social structures of particle physicists, has been cited in a number of books relating to the sociology of science, in particular, Bruno Latour and Steve Woolgar's book "Laboratory Life: The Construction of Scientific Facts",[3] and Sue V. Rosser's "The Science Glass Ceiling: Academic Women Scientists and the Struggle to Succeed".[4]
Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge have criticized Beamtimes and Lifetimes as being illustrative of anti-scientific biases in feminism, for examples in Traweek's genital metaphorizing of scientific instruments at SLAC.[5]
