Retaining Women in STEM Fields 
An Inside Higher Ed webinar

Featuring: Joan Williams of the University of California
When: Monday 4 November 2013, 01:00 PM - 02:00 PM
Time Zone: (GMT-05:00) Eastern Time (US and Canada)

Women are now well represented in science Ph.D. programs and (in some
fields) in junior faculty ranks. But many departments lose women and end
up without much diversity on their faculties. On November 4 at 1 p.m.
Eastern, Inside Higher Ed presents Retaining Women in STEM Fields -- a
webinar featuring Joan C. Williams, Distinguished Professor of Law and
the founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University
of California Hastings College of the Law. This webinar will explore why
women leave and what departments, colleges and universities can do about
it.

Professor Williams will discuss:

*         All the ways departments can save money by eliminating a
chilly climate for women.

*         The importance of family friendly policies.

*         The way the right policies can avoid legal problems - and the
wrong policies can leave departments and institutions vulnerable.

The webinar draws on work prepared for the Tools for Change Project,
funded by a National Science Foundation grant. Williams is Co-PI on the
grant together with Mary Ann Mason, Professor of the Graduate School and
Faculty Co-director of the Berkeley Law Center on Law and Social Policy
at the University of California at Berkeley, and the Association for
Women in Science.

The program is ideal for:

*         Department heads

*         Deans

*         Academic affairs

*         EEO/AA officers

About the Presenter: Joan C. Williams is a Distinguished Professor of
Law and the founding director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the
University of California Hastings College of the Law. She is the author
of Unbending Gender: Why Family and Work Conflict and What to Do About
It (Oxford University Press, 2000) and What Works for Women at Work:
Four Patterns Every Woman Should Know (forthcoming NYU Press, 2014) with
her daughter, Rachel Dempsey.
