Why so few women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, that is?
Kay Pitts found this AAUW report and recommends starting with the executive summary on page 14. It is the result of a study of women’s under representation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. It tackles a puzzling question and presents a picture of what we know—and what is still to be understood—about girls and women in scientific fields. This is a 134-page report.
Scope: Determine impediments to women geoscientists working in the oil and gas industry outside North America.
Participants: Women geoscientists from Colombia, Indonesia, Nigeria, China, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, UK, France, ukraine, Russia, Germany, Turkey, Norway, Bahrain and Denmark
