Sharon Jean Traweek 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, which explores the social structures of particle physicists, has been cited in a number of books relating to the sociology of science. It has also been criticized as being illustrative of the anti-scientific biases in feminism, e.g. Traweek's genital metaphorizing of scientific instruments at SLAC.
