Why So Few?

Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics 
 

 

Thursday, March 25, 2010

A continental breakfast will be served at 9:30 am


George Washington University
Marvin Center, Room 405
Washington, DC


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 on how to move this important research to practice.

We hope you will be able to join us.


If you are unable to join us in person, please register to join us online
 for a live-stream, interactive webcast of the event.


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