A review Professor Patricia Rankin co-authored with Dr. Donna Caccamise of the Institute of Cognitive Science at CU ��«��Ƶ was just released at the Toyko GS10 Gender Summit. This paper provides a broad review of evidence-based research, underlying theories, and interventions related to women’s representation in the workforce.

The paper discusses the issues that contribute to creating a work culture that can drive women from the workforce, particularly from science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) related fields. The assertion here is that achieving a workforce fully inclusive of women, including at the leadership levels is desirable, and that this will require looking beyond laws and policies to address the biases that women face as well as practical concerns such as how to combine family life with a career. A recent APS BackPage by Professor Rankin highlights some of the arguments in the paper.

From Jan 13-15, 2017 the ��«��Ƶ hosted a Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics, which was attended by approximately 125 undergraduate physics, astrophysics, and engineering physics majors. The conference featured many panels, talks, and workshops on topics such as career opportunities with a physics degree, finding summer internships, developing professional skills, and applying to graduate school. Additional highlights were lab tours, a planetarium show, a student poster session, and a Networking Fair. This conference series is coordinated by the American Physical Society and the ��«��Ƶ event was one of ten regional conferences that took place across North America on the same weekend

Have you explored the Web site for Women in Physics at ��«��Ƶ yet? Women in Physics (WiP) is a community of graduate and undergraduate students, post-docs, and faculty working to support the inclusion, participation, and success of women in the physics department at CU and around the world. They offer monthly lunch meetings on the last non-holiday Friday every month during the school year, as well as many resources for women in the field of physics.

In 2017, WiP and the University of Colorado at ��«��Ƶ will be hosting a chapter of the Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics! Check out the Women in Physics at ��«��Ƶ Web site for more information and news!
