[COSEAfaculty] For your perusal--STEM Gender Gaps

[Haydn Fox]

Fox Opinion:     The possible explanations given don’t include what I would guess to be two reasons with significantly greater influence than gender bias and role models.   These are (1) peer culture, and (2) pre-conceptions of the actual work and feelings (or lack thereof) of self-fulfillment in related careers.

 

I’m open to pot-shots here, and could be way off base, but those are my initial thoughts.

Pretty grim.

But this is part of our challenge if we want to innovate.
