//
Lower Level, Chambers Hall

Speaker:
Cassidy Rose Sugimoto, Associate Professor, School of Informatics and Computing, Indiana University
Title:
Gendered Labor Roles and Rewards in Science
Abstract:
Despite progress, gender disparities in science persist. Women remain underrepresented in the scientific workforce and under rewarded for their contributions. This talk will examine multiple layers of gender disparities in science, triangulating data from scientometrics, surveys, and social media to provide a broader perspective on the gendered nature of scientific communication. The extent of gender disparities and the ways in which new media are changing these patterns will be discussed. The talk will end with a discussion of interventions and innovations that are disrupting the scholarly ecosystem.
