Why So Few?

Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

 

Thursday, March 25, 2010
10:00 – 11:30 am ET


In an era when women are increasingly prominent in medicine, law, and business, why are there so few women scientists and engineers?

Drawing upon a large and diverse body of research, AAUW’s report provides compelling evidence of environmental and social barriers—including gender bias, stereotypes, and the climate within college and university science and engineering departments—that continue to limit women’s participation and progress.

 

Presentation of findings will be followed by a discussion among invited experts at the live event on how to move this important research to practice.

We hope you will be able to join us online.


Once you have registered to view the event online, you will receive instructions to watch the live-stream webcast closer to the event.


Program moderator: Linda D. Hallman, CAE, AAUW Executive Director

Campus sponsorship by HESA.
