Career

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.[3][4] In it she critical of how much time is spent by male physicists talking about the particle detector's which they had to build rather than focusing on the results that the detectors produced.

{{Quote|text=When experimentalists present papers at seminars and conferences, they always begin with a detailed description of their detector and devote at least a third of their talks to these machines before introducing the data generated in their experiments and reporting how those data were analyzed in order to produce "curves" (interpretations which have an acceptable degree of "fit" with the data). [...] It is the theorist who is more likely to see detectors as scientific instruments which simply record nature, as transcription devices which themselves leave no trace.|author=Sharon Traweek |source=Beamtimes and Lifetimes: The World of High Energy Physicists[5] }}Daphne Patai and Noretta Koertge criticized her comments as being illustrative of the anti-scientific biases in feminism, e.g. Traweek's genital metaphorizing of scientific instruments at SLAC.[6]

6. ^Quote:"The language used by physicists about and around detectors is genita: the imagery of the names SPEAR, SLAC, and PEP is clear as is the reference to the "beam" as "up" or "down." [...] One must see the magnets at LASS to appreciate the labial associations in the detector's name, Large Aperture Solenoid Spectrometer [...] Ironically, the denial of human agency in the construction of science coexists with the imaging of scientists as male and nature as female [...] Detectors are the site of their coupling: standing on the massive, throbbing body of the eighty-two-inch bubble chamber at SLAC while watching the accelerated particles from the beam collide twice a second with the superheated hydrogen molecules made this quite clear." – Traweek p. 158 (1992)* Cited in: Patai, Daphne; Koertge, Noretta (2003), "[https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=18iJjj5K02IC&pg=PA322 Feminists take on science: tilting at the evil empire]", in {{cite book | editor-last1 = Patai | editor-first1 = Daphne | editor-last2 = Koertge | editor-first2 = Noretta | editor-link1 = Daphne Patai | editor-link2 = Noretta Koertge | title = Professing feminism: education and indoctrination in women's studies | page = 322 | publisher = Lexington Books | location = Lanham, Maryland | isbn = 9780739104552}}
