A panel discussion for Math Graduates and Postdocs on preparing successful scholarships and job applications.
Women in Math hosted welcome parties on September 13 and 14. Check out this article by Math Communications Officer Melodie Roschman to learn more about what happened at the events!
Join WiM in celebrating International Women in Math Day with a discussion on "The Social “Threatwork”: Connecting Women's Exclusion from STEM Social Networks to Implicit and Explicit Gender Stereotypes" with Dr. Hilary Bergsieker.
When, why, and with what effect are women sometimes excluded from informal social networks in STEM fields? Drawing on social identity threat and structural hole theories, a series of studies assess social network dynamics that may limit women's full inclusion in STEM circles.
Dr. Hilary Bergsieker is an Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Waterloo, where she leads the Diversity and Intergroup Relations Lab and serves as her department's Program Area Lead for Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism.
The event will take place on May 12th at MC 5501 from 10:30-11:30 AM. Register here. Everyone is welcome!
The DRP End of Term Social has been canceled due to weather conditions (both days). Stay tuned next term for more exciting events!
What is a better way to celebrate the hard work of the Winter 2023 DRP participants and UW students than a relaxing evening with a campfire, music, and some smores?
