_____________________
The National Academies’ Committee on Women in Academic Science and Engineering invite you to attend an upcoming convocation on Biological, Social, and Organizational Contributions to Science and Engineering Success, held on December 9, 2005 in Washington DC.
The study committee, chaired by Donna Shalala, President of the University of Miami, is charged to produce a comprehensive interdisciplinary guide to effective policies and practices for recruiting, hiring, and retaining women faculty. The committee is overseen by the Academies' Committee on Science, Engineering, and Public Policy (COSEPUP). Their convocation will bring together researchers from multiple disciplines to fit together pieces of the puzzle. What does sex differences research tell us about behavior, capability, career decisions and achievement? What roles do organizational structures and institutional policies play? How can we bring forth the cross-cutting issues of diversity within the population of women? What are key research needs, experimental paradigms, and tools? What are the ramifications of this research for policy, particularly for evaluating current and potential academic faculty?
Call for Posters
In addition to plenary discussions with researchers, program administrators, and educators, attendees will be able to share their experiences one-on-one during poster sessions. Poster abstracts will be published with the event proceedings. To ensure a poster slot, register by November 4, 2005.
For More Information and to Register
The meeting is free of charge, but registration is required. Final meeting registration deadline is November 28, 2005. The event is open to the public; the proceedings will be taped and published.
