| Abstract: |
This article summarizes a panel discussion with Jolene Jesse
(Program Director, NSF Research on Gender in Science and Engineering program)
and Laura Migus (Director of Equity & Diversity at the Association of
Science Technology Centers) on research related to gender in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). Moderated by Ms. Karen Peterson from the NSF-funded National Girls Collaborative Project, Dr. Jesse and Ms. Migus discussed foundational and current research on pressing questions about the lack of gender diversity in STEM advanced education and careers, and on strategies the EPO community could employ in designing and implementing programs to encourage more girls and women to engage in STEM for the long term. |
