women in science project
The Women in Science Project is a collaboration between the Center for Gender Studies, a committee of women faculty from the Biological, Physical, and Social Sciences Divisions, and Mary Harvey from the Provost’s office. The aim of the project is to organize events that bring women scientists at the University together to share their work, make connections around shared research interests, and build community to counter-balance the isolation some of them experience in their departments and laboratories. Our first event, “Personal Perspectives on Women in the Sciences,” springs from the “On Equal Terms” Educating Women at the University of Chicago archive exhibit in the Special Collections Research Center at Regenstein Library. In the academic year 2009/2010, the Project will host three events, one per quarter, which pair women working on similar problems from different disciplinary perspectives.
