A Live Webcast of Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics

In an era in which women are increasingly represented in medicine, law, and business, why do they continue to lag behind men in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics? Why So Few? Women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics is a comprehensive report on the controversial issue of the continued underrepresentation of women in these fields.  The report was funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, the AAUW Letitia Corum Memorial Fund, the AAUW Mooneen Lecce Giving Circle, and the AAUW Eleanor Roosevelt Fund.

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

To register for the live webcast presentation and dialogue on the report on Thursday, March 25, 10?11:30 a.m. (EDT), go to WhySoFewWebcast.eventbrite.com.
