CIRTL - Women in STEM: The Status of Women Scientists

10-04-2017 1:00 PM

In the first of four events on women in STEM, we will define and characterize the participation of women in STEM. We will assess the challenges they face at the graduate level and in careers. Lastly, we will discuss strategies for creating inclusive environments.

Questions to consider include: • What is the landscape: what are current proportions of women in a range of fields? Which fields are doing the best? What fields are lagging? • What have been some of the major successes for leveling the field (e.g. policies, practices, etc.)? • What are some common challenge during graduate education, in careers, and in academia? • What actions can be taken by institutions, departments, colleagues, and students to create inclusive environments?
