This document discusses women in mathematics and some of the challenges they face. It provides statistics on the percentage of bachelor's and PhD degrees in math earned by women, as well as the low percentage of tenured positions in math departments held by women. It discusses research on cognitive differences between men and women in math and spatial abilities, and how these differences may be influenced by environment and stereotypes. The document also summarizes various studies on stereotype threat and how simply referring to gender before a math test can negatively impact women's performance. Overall, it examines some of the social and cultural factors that have created barriers for women in mathematics.
This document summarizes a presentation given by Dr. Rachel Morgain on International Women's Day about gender equity in astronomy. It discusses research showing implicit biases that associate science with masculinity. It also analyzes the naming of exoplanets, finding most were named for male mythical or historical figures from European traditions. Two exceptions are planets in the Thai Crocodile constellation named for sisters in a folktale. The single female historical figure honored was Hypatia, an influential astronomer and philosopher murdered in 415 AD. The document concludes by summarizing research on gender depictions of scientist characters in the long-running TV series Doctor Who.

Steven Pinker and Elizabeth Spelke, both Harvard psychology professors, debated whether innate differences or discrimination explain the lack of women in science careers. Pinker argued innate gender differences in interests, variability in abilities, and spatial skills favor men in math and science. However, Spelke countered that studies show no inherent differences in children and biases influence perceptions of gender abilities. She provided multiple examples showing social and parental expectations, not innate factors, impact career choices. While both made arguments, Spelke supported her position that discrimination, not biology, creates disparities with extensive evidence from research in her field of expertise.

Pinker argued innate gender differences in interests, variability in abilities, and spatial skills favor men in math and science. Spelke countered that gender differences only appear on subjective tests and are due to parents and teachers having lower expectations of girls, not innate factors. She cited studies finding infants and young children develop skills like those needed in science equally, regardless of gender. While both made arguments, Spelke supported her view with multiple examples from literature in her area of expertise.
The document presents data on gender representation in physics. It finds that the percentage of women in physics is lower than in other fields like humanities and law. When analyzing citation data, it finds no evidence of gender bias - papers with male first authors are cited equally by male and female authors, suggesting merit rather than sexism. It also finds fewer women among highly cited authors and in theory fields, even when controlling for other variables. This is inconsistent with claims of widespread discrimination.

Some Evidence for a Gender Gap
in Personality and Social Psychology
Adam J. Brown1 and Jin X. Goh1
Abstract
This research examined a possible gender gap in personality and social psychology. According to membership demographics from
the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP), women and men are represented near parity in the field. Yet despite this
equal representation, the field may still suffer from a different type of gender gap. We examined the gender of first authors in two
major journals, citations to these articles, and gender of award recipients. In random samples of five issues per year across
10 years (2004–2013; N ¼ 1,094), 34% of first authors in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology were women and 44% of first
authors in Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin were women. Articles authored by men were cited more than those authored by
women. In examining the gender of award recipients given by SPSP (2000–2016), on average, 25% of the recipients were women.

It is no longer newsworthy that women enter psychology at a
higher rate than men do. In 2013, women represented 72.2%
of all doctorates in psychology (National Science Foundation
[NSF], 2015a). This is remarkable considering that in 1958 (the
earliest data available), women only represented 18.0% of all
doctorates in psychology. This impressive growth in represen-
tation is pervasive across most subfields of psychology, includ-
ing social psychology, with 67.3% of doctorates being awarded
to women in 2013.

This document discusses sexism and discrimination that discourages women from pursuing careers in STEM. It summarizes research showing that women face barriers even after obtaining STEM degrees, such as being less likely to be hired than equally or less qualified men. Stereotypes persist that women are not suited for STEM or that an intelligent woman is somehow threatening. The document reviews historical attitudes that limited women's education and how some of those same attitudes continue today. Statistics are presented showing men outnumber women in obtaining STEM degrees, especially at higher levels. More work is needed to foster interest in STEM among girls and create welcoming environments free of hostility.

In this study of Kwon he talks about the challenges that influx Asians international undergraduate students in universities in the United States. Creating greater education and better social environments. He gets to talking about how Asians American student leaders and their organizations became difficult institutional task on diversity.
This article pertains to be a good source for my paper because it talks about a particular race that have trouble with being able to fit in with the university. Talks about segregation and racial discrimnation in the community. It could be a useful source for my paper. It’s useful because my topic is about racial discrimination and this source fits perfect.

This source could be a good source for my paper because it has aspects that talks more about race and how they interact on campus and each other. I think this article by far the best one I found because it get in depth with race discrimination in organziations , campuses, and each other. The goal of this source is to inform people on what goes on with each race and people who try to engage with people.

If parents are apart of the GLBT their children become targets because of them and it affects their ability and focus at school.

There were no significant findings regarding the effects of age, race, or their interaction on perceptions of credibility. The only trend was that older men were viewed as less caring than younger men. Limitations included that the measures of credibility may not have captured the relevant stereotypes and the stated ages or appearances may not have strongly evoked biases. More refined research is needed to better illustrate how biases affect workplace disparities.
Ginny Catania presented on improving belonging in Greenland science. She noted that the cryospheric sciences are dominated by men, with the AGU Cryosphere Section having 3 times more male than female members. Some reasons for this disparity include unconscious and conscious bias, a chilly academic climate, and unequal access to resources such as social support networks and funding opportunities. Examples were provided of ways in which bias manifests, such as overburden of service work, lack of mentorship and collaboration, and harassment. The presentation discussed how the university system and field of glaciology were historically designed to exclude women, and how notions of academic skill still emphasize outdoor experiences more common among men.

Hi Katharine Mitchell,
I am Jessica Waldorf, a scholar research in Sex and Gender for 5 years, who just travel to Santa Cruz. And I write this paper for suggesting that UCSC should add a new major or some courses for students, which deal with the topic of Sex and Gender.
Over the last couple of years, significant changes have taken place in the world. As the world has entered the “Internet Age”, it has changed the entire face of the world, how life used to be and how things are right now. With this border context, some emerging problems which might be only cared for by a small group of people might evolve a heated discussion. Nowadays, with more and more incident and city news came out, like Harvey Weinstein’s and Trump’s sexual harassment news, more and more people start to care about “Sex and Gender” problems. What’s more, recently, in the scientific community, interdisciplinary research become a general trend of subject development. Because of this, the research of “Sex and Gender” as a cross-disciplinary subject must have more and more scientists to commit. The importance of Sex and Gender research can also be understood by the statement of Carol Colaterlla who is the associate dean at the Ivan Allen CLA and also co-director of the Center for the Study of Technology at the Georgia Institute of Technology, “Gender students as a field illustrates the potential of interdisciplinary scholarship in today’s scientific and technical university” (Carol, 2014). How can we miss the chance to build up such a subject, which is popular and have scientific research value, in such a beautiful campus?
In the United States, sex and gender education has always remained a hot debate or issue. “While the debate about sex and gender studies are mostly related to grad school and high school, there were rarely any talk about the discussion of sex and gender course at the collegiate level or graduation level” (Sollie, Donna & Kaetz, 1992). This actually tells a lot about as educationists and as a nation, we have failed to understand the importance of this education for students and how it will help them in the rest of their lives. Because of the resource available nowadays, there remains no reason why gender and sex courses should not become a part of educational institutions and teach to students. This is a humble effort of convincing the school to include gender and sex courses in their curriculum and play their part in educating students and prepare them for life completely. It should be taught as an essential course to all students – regardless of their fields. Just like language composition, report writing and math is taught to every student, sex and gender courses should also be introduced in the school. This task can be accomplished by creating multiple courses that meet the health science general education requirements. Although, we are always debate about when sex education shoul.

Abstract
Standardized tests continue to generate gender and race gaps in achievement despite decades of
national attention. Research on ‘‘stereotype threat’’ (Steele & Aronson, 1995) suggests that these gaps
may be partly due to stereotypes that impugn the math abilities of females and the intellectual abilities
of Black, Hispanic, and low-income students. A field experiment was performed to test methods of
helping female, minority, and low-income adolescents overcome the anxiety-inducing effects of
stereotype threat and, consequently, improve their standardized test scores. Specifically, seventh-grade
students in the experimental conditions were mentored by college students who encouraged them
either to view intelligence as malleable or to attribute academic difficulties in the seventh grade to the
novelty of the educational setting. Results showed that females in both experimental conditions earned
significantly higher math standardized test scores than females in the control condition. Similarly, the
students—who were largely minority and low-income adolescents—in the experimental conditions
earned significantly higher reading standardized test scores than students in the control condition.

1. Introduction
When Neil de Grasse Tyson received his doctoral degree from Columbia University in
1991 he became the seventh African American astrophysicist out of 4000 astrophysicists
nationwide. In his convocation address delivered at Columbia’s graduation ceremonies, he
summarized his life path by noting:
In the perception of society my athletic talents are genetic; I am a likely mugger/rapist; my
academic failures are expected; and my academic successes are attributed to others. To.
The document discusses reasons for the low percentage of women in physics careers. It notes that girls are less likely than boys to choose strong math programs in high school and scientific fields in university. Women physicists are also less likely to receive mentoring and support needed for career success compared to their male peers. However, the document argues that women can have highly successful physics careers if barriers are removed and family obligations are better supported through flexible work policies and funding opportunities.
How women’s unconscious process are effected in gender situationsTaty Christofi
1. The document discusses how gender stereotypes can negatively impact women's self-assessments of their competence and task performance through two mechanisms: internalizing negative stereotypes and being judged more harshly.
2. Stereotype threat is explored, where salient negative stereotypes about one's gender can impair performance by interfering with working memory capacity.
3. The document outlines some strategies found in studies to help address stereotypes, such as emphasizing diversity and broadening portrayals of careers.
Assignment: Gender Stereotyping
Gender stereotyping reflects the perceived psychological traits and characteristics of males and females, and the related roles that are thought to be appropriate for each gender in family, work, school, and society as a whole. Gender stereotyping impacts individuals in terms of how they view themselves and their place in society, as well as how society views the respective gender and the appropriate behavior and roles for each. The implications can be far reaching.
It is evident by studying history that gender stereotypes have changed over time. One obvious example is in the history of women's suffrage. It was believed in the U.S. that women were not sufficiently mentally astute to vote on the important issues impacting society. The belief was that a woman's place was in the home raising children and taking care of the domestic needs of the family. With women's suffrage in the early 20th century and the century that has followed, this stereotype has been changed. Not only do women vote but they hold every office at all levels including heads of state and presidencies across the globe. The 2016 presidential election even featured the first female nominee from a major political party.
As a foundation for the study of gender, this Application Assignment asks you to explore gender stereotypes in some depth, including a consideration of the numerous stereotypes for both men and women; how stereotypes differ by culture; and how stereotypes impact individuals of that gender, the opposite gender, and society as a whole.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review Chapter 3 of the course text,
Gender: Psychological Perspectives
, focusing on the definition of gender stereotyping, the impact it may have on society and individuals, and cultural differences and similarities in gender stereotyping. Remember that culture includes age, religion, sexual orientation, etc., as well as race and ethnicity.
Review the article, "Stereotypes as Dynamic Constructs: Women and Men of the Past, Present, and Future."
Review the article, "Bimbos and Rambos: The Cognitive Basis of Gender Stereotypes." Focus specifically on how the media perpetuates gender stereotyping.
Review the article, “Young and Older Adults' Gender Stereotype in Multitasking.” Focus on how this recent research suggests gender stereotyping is alive and well today.
Think about the following questions:
What are common stereotypes for men?
What are common stereotypes for women?
How have these stereotypes changed over time? What stereotypes have not really changed? Be sure to take into consideration different types of media such as film, TV, and literature as you prepare for this assignment.
What impact do these stereotypes have on individuals of that gender, the opposite gender, and society as a whole? Think in terms of the life of the individuals; the families; school life and the educational journey; work life and career options; health and wellness issu ...
This document examines how gender inequalities are portrayed in media and their effect on students' educational opportunities. It discusses how gender is a social construct that influences norms through media portrayal. Gender stereotypes shape and limit educational opportunities by emphasizing different futures for boys and girls. While efforts have been made to appeal to male students, they often alienate others and have little impact. The mass media now educates youth through constant access, influencing their developing values and expectations within education systems. Further work is still needed to change social attitudes and norms influenced by media portrayals of gender.

"Gender diversity policy: the progress, the promise, and the challenges ahead
Thursday, July 7th 2016
Symposium: 9 am-1 pm
Location: Memorial University, St. John's, NL
Education Building, Room ED-1014
Everyone attending the CSEE 2016: 'From windswept land to spindrift swirl' is welcome and encouraged to participate in SWEEET.
Our 2016 theme is "Gender diversity policy: the progress, the promise, and the challenges ahead." Continuing with the tradition of accounts of successful women in ecology and evolution, we will have a series of prominent scientists speaking about progress in developing awareness of the science of gender equity. The goal is to impart support and knowledge about achieving gender equity to scientists-in-training through the sharing of information and networking opportunities.
We have designed the symposium to include time to discuss the material in the presentations in the form of a panel discussion that will include Kathy Martin (UBC) and Jeremy Kerr (UOttawa).
Our intended audience for this workshop includes post-secondary students working towards a career in science, post-doctoral fellows, and pre-tenure level faculty. The focus will be on creating opportunities and networking for women, but people of any gender are welcome to attend any part of the symposium."
1) The document discusses sex, gender, and inequality from a sociological perspective. It distinguishes between sex (biological) and gender (socially constructed) and explains the sociological significance of gender.
2) Gender is explored as a master status that structures society and impacts the distribution of property, power and prestige. While biology plays a role, standards of gender and behaviors vary widely by culture.
3) The document examines gender inequality globally and in the US through topics like the origins of discrimination, sex-typing of work, prestige of work, pay gaps, violence against women, and barriers in education and careers. It provides statistics and examples to illustrate these issues.
This document discusses the perceived shortage of male teachers, particularly at the elementary level in Canada. It explores how male teachers can serve as role models in relation to their race, sexual orientation, and culture. There are two popular ideologies discussed: 1) that good teachers can teach all students regardless of their own identity, and 2) that increasing diversity among teachers can better reflect student populations while providing more role models.

The study involves having students first assess their views of science and scientists, then research and develop a mock Facebook page for a scientist of their choosing. Students will view each other's scientist pages and their choices will be analyzed to see if same-gender scientists are preferred
Women are underrepresented as sole and last authors in academic papers. Men self-cite their own work more than women, with a 6.7 percentage point gap. This gender gap in self-citation rates has risen sharply since the 1960s and 1970s, though it has evened out more in recent decades. Potential reasons for men's higher self-citation rates include evaluating their own abilities more positively, facing fewer sanctions for self-promotion, specializing more within academic fields, and publishing more papers earlier in their careers.

This document discusses sexism and discrimination that discourages women from pursuing careers in STEM. It summarizes research showing that women face barriers even after obtaining STEM degrees, such as being less likely to be hired than equally or less qualified men. Stereotypes persist that women are not suited for STEM or that an intelligent woman is somehow threatening. The document reviews historical attitudes that limited women's education and how some of those same attitudes continue today. Statistics are presented showing men outnumber women in obtaining STEM degrees, especially at higher levels. More work is needed to foster interest in STEM among girls and create welcoming environments free of hostility.

In this study of Kwon he talks about the challenges that influx Asians international undergraduate students in universities in the United States. Creating greater education and better social environments. He gets to talking about how Asians American student leaders and their organizations became difficult institutional task on diversity.
This article pertains to be a good source for my paper because it talks about a particular race that have trouble with being able to fit in with the university. Talks about segregation and racial discrimnation in the community. It could be a useful source for my paper. It’s useful because my topic is about racial discrimination and this source fits perfect.

In this study of Walker-DeVose talks about race that’s critical such as how African Americans and White students at a PWI are diverse. He also talks about how Blacks interact with each other. He says when blaack and white socialize its common to say their post-racial environment. In his study he suggest that students of any race recognize the persistence of the racial discrimination.
This source could be a good source for my paper because it has aspects that talks more about race and how they interact on campus and each other. I think this article by far the best one I found because it get in depth with race discrimination in organziations , campuses, and each other. The goal of this source is to inform people on what goes on with each race and people who try to engage with people.

If parents are apart of the GLBT their children become targets because of them and it affects their ability and focus at school.

There were no significant findings regarding the effects of age, race, or their interaction on perceptions of credibility. The only trend was that older men were viewed as less caring than younger men. Limitations included that the measures of credibility may not have captured the relevant stereotypes and the stated ages or appearances may not have strongly evoked biases. More refined research is needed to better illustrate how biases affect workplace disparities.
Ginny Catania presented on improving belonging in Greenland science. She noted that the cryospheric sciences are dominated by men, with the AGU Cryosphere Section having 3 times more male than female members. Some reasons for this disparity include unconscious and conscious bias, a chilly academic climate, and unequal access to resources such as social support networks and funding opportunities. Examples were provided of ways in which bias manifests, such as overburden of service work, lack of mentorship and collaboration, and harassment. The presentation discussed how the university system and field of glaciology were historically designed to exclude women, and how notions of academic skill still emphasize outdoor experiences more common among men.

Hi Katharine Mitchell,
I am Jessica Waldorf, a scholar research in Sex and Gender for 5 years, who just travel to Santa Cruz. And I write this paper for suggesting that UCSC should add a new major or some courses for students, which deal with the topic of Sex and Gender.
Over the last couple of years, significant changes have taken place in the world. As the world has entered the “Internet Age”, it has changed the entire face of the world, how life used to be and how things are right now. With this border context, some emerging problems which might be only cared for by a small group of people might evolve a heated discussion. Nowadays, with more and more incident and city news came out, like Harvey Weinstein’s and Trump’s sexual harassment news, more and more people start to care about “Sex and Gender” problems. What’s more, recently, in the scientific community, interdisciplinary research become a general trend of subject development. Because of this, the research of “Sex and Gender” as a cross-disciplinary subject must have more and more scientists to commit. The importance of Sex and Gender research can also be understood by the statement of Carol Colaterlla who is the associate dean at the Ivan Allen CLA and also co-director of the Center for the Study of Technology at the Georgia Institute of Technology, “Gender students as a field illustrates the potential of interdisciplinary scholarship in today’s scientific and technical university” (Carol, 2014). How can we miss the chance to build up such a subject, which is popular and have scientific research value, in such a beautiful campus?
In the United States, sex and gender education has always remained a hot debate or issue. “While the debate about sex and gender studies are mostly related to grad school and high school, there were rarely any talk about the discussion of sex and gender course at the collegiate level or graduation level” (Sollie, Donna & Kaetz, 1992). This actually tells a lot about as educationists and as a nation, we have failed to understand the importance of this education for students and how it will help them in the rest of their lives. Because of the resource available nowadays, there remains no reason why gender and sex courses should not become a part of educational institutions and teach to students. This is a humble effort of convincing the school to include gender and sex courses in their curriculum and play their part in educating students and prepare them for life completely. It should be taught as an essential course to all students – regardless of their fields. Just like language composition, report writing and math is taught to every student, sex and gender courses should also be introduced in the school. This task can be accomplished by creating multiple courses that meet the health science general education requirements. Although, we are always debate about when sex education shoul.

Abstract
Standardized tests continue to generate gender and race gaps in achievement despite decades of
national attention. Research on ‘‘stereotype threat’’ (Steele & Aronson, 1995) suggests that these gaps
may be partly due to stereotypes that impugn the math abilities of females and the intellectual abilities
of Black, Hispanic, and low-income students. A field experiment was performed to test methods of
helping female, minority, and low-income adolescents overcome the anxiety-inducing effects of
stereotype threat and, consequently, improve their standardized test scores. Specifically, seventh-grade
students in the experimental conditions were mentored by college students who encouraged them
either to view intelligence as malleable or to attribute academic difficulties in the seventh grade to the
novelty of the educational setting. Results showed that females in both experimental conditions earned
significantly higher math standardized test scores than females in the control condition. Similarly, the
students—who were largely minority and low-income adolescents—in the experimental conditions
earned significantly higher reading standardized test scores than students in the control condition.

1. Introduction
When Neil de Grasse Tyson received his doctoral degree from Columbia University in
1991 he became the seventh African American astrophysicist out of 4000 astrophysicists
nationwide. In his convocation address delivered at Columbia’s graduation ceremonies, he
summarized his life path by noting:
In the perception of society my athletic talents are genetic; I am a likely mugger/rapist; my
academic failures are expected; and my academic successes are attributed to others. To.
The document discusses reasons for the low percentage of women in physics careers. It notes that girls are less likely than boys to choose strong math programs in high school and scientific fields in university. Women physicists are also less likely to receive mentoring and support needed for career success compared to their male peers. However, the document argues that women can have highly successful physics careers if barriers are removed and family obligations are better supported through flexible work policies and funding opportunities.
How women’s unconscious process are effected in gender situationsTaty Christofi
1. The document discusses how gender stereotypes can negatively impact women's self-assessments of their competence and task performance through two mechanisms: internalizing negative stereotypes and being judged more harshly.
2. Stereotype threat is explored, where salient negative stereotypes about one's gender can impair performance by interfering with working memory capacity.
3. The document outlines some strategies found in studies to help address stereotypes, such as emphasizing diversity and broadening portrayals of careers.
Assignment: Gender Stereotyping
Gender stereotyping reflects the perceived psychological traits and characteristics of males and females, and the related roles that are thought to be appropriate for each gender in family, work, school, and society as a whole. Gender stereotyping impacts individuals in terms of how they view themselves and their place in society, as well as how society views the respective gender and the appropriate behavior and roles for each. The implications can be far reaching.
It is evident by studying history that gender stereotypes have changed over time. One obvious example is in the history of women's suffrage. It was believed in the U.S. that women were not sufficiently mentally astute to vote on the important issues impacting society. The belief was that a woman's place was in the home raising children and taking care of the domestic needs of the family. With women's suffrage in the early 20th century and the century that has followed, this stereotype has been changed. Not only do women vote but they hold every office at all levels including heads of state and presidencies across the globe. The 2016 presidential election even featured the first female nominee from a major political party.
As a foundation for the study of gender, this Application Assignment asks you to explore gender stereotypes in some depth, including a consideration of the numerous stereotypes for both men and women; how stereotypes differ by culture; and how stereotypes impact individuals of that gender, the opposite gender, and society as a whole.
To prepare for this assignment:
Review Chapter 3 of the course text,
Gender: Psychological Perspectives
, focusing on the definition of gender stereotyping, the impact it may have on society and individuals, and cultural differences and similarities in gender stereotyping. Remember that culture includes age, religion, sexual orientation, etc., as well as race and ethnicity.
Review the article, "Stereotypes as Dynamic Constructs: Women and Men of the Past, Present, and Future."
Review the article, "Bimbos and Rambos: The Cognitive Basis of Gender Stereotypes." Focus specifically on how the media perpetuates gender stereotyping.
Review the article, “Young and Older Adults' Gender Stereotype in Multitasking.” Focus on how this recent research suggests gender stereotyping is alive and well today.
Think about the following questions:
What are common stereotypes for men?
What are common stereotypes for women?
How have these stereotypes changed over time? What stereotypes have not really changed? Be sure to take into consideration different types of media such as film, TV, and literature as you prepare for this assignment.
What impact do these stereotypes have on individuals of that gender, the opposite gender, and society as a whole? Think in terms of the life of the individuals; the families; school life and the educational journey; work life and career options; health and wellness issu ...
This document examines how gender inequalities are portrayed in media and their effect on students' educational opportunities. It discusses how gender is a social construct that influences norms through media portrayal. Gender stereotypes shape and limit educational opportunities by emphasizing different futures for boys and girls. While efforts have been made to appeal to male students, they often alienate others and have little impact. The mass media now educates youth through constant access, influencing their developing values and expectations within education systems. Further work is still needed to change social attitudes and norms influenced by media portrayals of gender.

"Gender diversity policy: the progress, the promise, and the challenges ahead
Thursday, July 7th 2016
Symposium: 9 am-1 pm
Location: Memorial University, St. John's, NL
Education Building, Room ED-1014
Everyone attending the CSEE 2016: 'From windswept land to spindrift swirl' is welcome and encouraged to participate in SWEEET.
Our 2016 theme is "Gender diversity policy: the progress, the promise, and the challenges ahead." Continuing with the tradition of accounts of successful women in ecology and evolution, we will have a series of prominent scientists speaking about progress in developing awareness of the science of gender equity. The goal is to impart support and knowledge about achieving gender equity to scientists-in-training through the sharing of information and networking opportunities.
We have designed the symposium to include time to discuss the material in the presentations in the form of a panel discussion that will include Kathy Martin (UBC) and Jeremy Kerr (UOttawa).
Our intended audience for this workshop includes post-secondary students working towards a career in science, post-doctoral fellows, and pre-tenure level faculty. The focus will be on creating opportunities and networking for women, but people of any gender are welcome to attend any part of the symposium."
1) The document discusses sex, gender, and inequality from a sociological perspective. It distinguishes between sex (biological) and gender (socially constructed) and explains the sociological significance of gender.
2) Gender is explored as a master status that structures society and impacts the distribution of property, power and prestige. While biology plays a role, standards of gender and behaviors vary widely by culture.
3) The document examines gender inequality globally and in the US through topics like the origins of discrimination, sex-typing of work, prestige of work, pay gaps, violence against women, and barriers in education and careers. It provides statistics and examples to illustrate these issues.
This document discusses the perceived shortage of male teachers, particularly at the elementary level in Canada. It explores how male teachers can serve as role models in relation to their race, sexual orientation, and culture. There are two popular ideologies discussed: 1) that good teachers can teach all students regardless of their own identity, and 2) that increasing diversity among teachers can better reflect student populations while providing more role models. The document analyzes survey results from 223 male teachers in Ontario on this topic and debates around engaging more male teachers.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

math participation (including calculus)
had disappeared. (Still differences in
“optional” courses like statistics, in 1990.)
• 1960: 33% of boys, 9% of girls
• Sells 1973 study of random sample of
freshmen entering UC Berkeley: 57% of
males, 8% of females. (Lots of publicity!)
But 1972 large national study : 39% of
males, 22% of females. (Little publicity!)
5. Percentage of bachelor’s degrees
in math now going to women?
• Answer: About 50%.
• Earlier data:
1949-50: 24% of all BA degrees to women, 23% of BA
degrees in math to women.
1976-77: 46% of BA degrees to women, 42% in math to
women.
• Grades of women in similar math courses are at
least as good as men’s.
• Big difference is in physics and engineering;
often lumped with math. More on that later…

they think it must be a crisis for boys,” Ms. Mead said.
“I’m troubled by this tone of crisis. Even if you control
for the field they’re in, boys right out of college make
more money than girls, so at the end of the day, is it
grades and honors that matter, or something else the
boys may be doing?”
Or something the hirers are doing? I’ll come back to

from summary of talk of Richard Haier, UC Irvine:
Bell curves of male and female IQ scores "essentially completely overlap," Haier said.
This overlap can be found in bell-curve graphs of measures of many cognitive
functions, including visual, spatial, and mathematical reasoning. "But the
controversy," he said, "is why there are so many more men out there on the extreme
than women.“…Test-score statistics, however, point to a considerable difference in
the numbers per gender of extremely able people in math reasoning—people who fill
the top ranks of scientists in certain fields. … Some studies have suggested that the
ratio of males to females with extreme math-ability is 10 to 1. Though that number
may not be completely accurate, Haier said, it suggests the scale of the difference.

SAT was 13:1. Huge publicity!
• Subsequent Johns Hopkins data, Duke
data have showed decreasing ratios; by
late 1990’s, down to under 3:1 (2.8:1)
(I don’t know of any more recent data). No sign that
not still falling.
• Furthermore B-S Methods did not ensure
representative sampling; other issues.
11. `Ms. Benbow, a widely published scholar, said
she stood completely by the research in the
three articles…’ (Education Week 2006)
• She doesn’t talk about the more recent data.
• She made her reputation on these studies;
she was recently appointed to National
Science Board by Pres. Bush and confirmed
by the Senate
• Newspapers and magazines, and even one
author in Gender Differences in Mathmatics,
still use only the 13:1 figure!
12. Cathleen Morawetz, Marsha Berger,
Margaret Wright – all at NYU, all
members of the National Academy of
Sciences. Morawetz got a National
Medal of Science + big Canadian prize
13. From the NYAS symposium:
• Linda Gottfredson, professor in the School of
Education and affiliated faculty in the University Honors
Program at the University of Delaware, however, argued
that innate gender differences are very clear—so clear,
in fact, that a goal of gender parity in all professions
seems unrealistic. Specifically, she said, male minds
show a bias toward interest in things, while female minds
are interested in people, creating what she called a
genetic "tilt" that affects the types of careers they
choose. In this light, supporting an idea of infinite human
malleability "ignores both women’s own preferences and
the huge challenges they face when committed to having
both children and careers."
I will show that “innate gender differences” are NOT at all
clear! And women DO prefer math as much as men! Issue
of children+careers is big, not just for scientists.
14. What kinds of cognitive differences
found by scientific studies?
• No difference between males and females on
measures like paper folding, embedded
figures, two-dimensional rotation where
required to reason about spatially present
information; large differences for tasks
requiring the rapid mental rotation of 3-D
objects presented as 2-D drawings.
(1985: Linn and Petersen meta-analysis on on available studies.
• Significant difference on math SAT (one-half a
standard deviation)
16. Biochemical pathways for hormones, from The Female Brain
Major difference between men and women: men produce more testosterone,
all the time; women more progesterone and estrogen, in a monthly cycle.
17.
18. Research since the Linn-Peterson meta-analysis
indicates that differences with regard to mental
rotation have diminished and are amenable to
instruction.
(from The Female Brain book) “Longitudinal studies show that
spatial abilities are related to early experiences such
as the amount of time spent playing with blocks.
Mental rotations of actual 3D objects, rather than 2D
pictures, show no gender difference (from Gender
Differences in Mathematics).
19. What does all this have to do with how
women do mathematics? There are very
rarely any strong relationships between
measures of spatial reasoning and
measures of mathematical achievement
when general ability is controlled; many
literature reviews have concluded there is
no relationship.
Also, there is more than one way to do
math.
(driving around Princeton anecdote)
20. • SAT items that produced the greatest
gender differences for U.S. students
produced no gender differences for
Chinese and Japanese students. (Byrnes,
2004). (Japanese and Chinese elementary
school children tend to disagree with statements
like “The tests students take show how much or
how little natural ability they have.” U.S. children
tend to agree. (Stevenson, Stigler et al.,Learning Gap))
21. What makes some research much
better than other?
• Peer-reviewed (by experts chosen NOT by
the author but by an impartial authority
such as a journal editor) and published in
a journal or series known to have high
standards
• Replicable – other people can redo the
experiment, or the steps of the proof, etc.
• References are relevant to the case cited,
graphs based on real data, etc.
• Up-to-date, state-of-the-art
22. More myths unsupported by data
• “The sexes see and hear quite differently.” Fact: No
evidence from peer-reviewed studies
• “Women use both sides of brain more symmetrically
due to larger corpus callosum.” Fact: No statistically
significant differences in size or shape of corpus
callosum.
• “Boys biologically programmed to focus on objects,
girls on people.” Fact: This idea based on one study
of day-old babies, demolished by experts. (experiment
lacked critical controls, including fact that day-old infants can’t
hold up their heads independently, and were seated on
parents laps)
• “Boys deductive, girls inductive.” Fact (once it’s peer-
reviewed!): data on 1,000’s finds no difference.
(from Los Angeles Times article reprinted in Cape Cod Times, October 8, 2006)
23. “Stereotype Threat”
anxiety about confirming a negative stereotype
of one's gender or other social category
• The threat of being personally reduced to these
gender stereotypes can evoke a disruptive state
that undermines women’s math performance.
(Davies & Spencer in Gender Differences in Mathematics)
• Biological basis seems to be increase in cortisol
levels, which can be measured even when
subjects say they don’t feel anxious (Ben-Zeev et
al).
24. Joshua Aronson, NYU:
• Nature made us very cultural animals, and
cultural environment (like the stereotype that
girls don't like math) has an impact on
performance. In particular, it affects test
performance.
25. How to study stereotype threat?
• Tell students prior to test that this test in the
past has revealed no gender differences. (Don’t
tell control group that.) Then women in control
group underperformed men, but no such deficit
if told no gender difference (Spencer et al
1999).
• Tell students the test is not diagnostic of their
math abilities. Again, completely eliminated
deficit (Davies, et al 2002)
26.
27. Different social identities
• Asian-American females: completed a
questionnaire prior to taking difficult math
test; questions were of type “how many
generations lived in America,” or “is your
dormitory coed or single sex?” or neither.
Those primed on Asian-American identity
did better than control group; those on
gender identity, worse.
28. •Another experiment: some subjects told math
problems were developed for SAT; control group
didn’t refer to SAT, and were told men and women
performed equally well on the test.
•Women in first group were less able to formulate
effective problem-solving strategies,
underperformed men; women in the other group
performed equally well as men. (Note the SAME
test problems were given.)
•Another experiment: 3 person groups. When all
women, women did best, did worse for each man
included in group.
29. • “Highly practiced or automated skills are
the ones that resist disruption by stressful
circumstances [so little effect of stereotype
threat on easy tests], consistent with the
gender differences in processing
reported..”
• “The negative consequences may be most
striking for ..highly invested and skilled”
30.
31. The “priming” can be as simple as checking a
box indicating gender before or after taking the
AP Calculus test. Since women normally
experience stereotype threat, this is a very
conservative test. Yet women who indicated
gender before scored significantly lower than
those who did so after. (Stricker 1998). (There is
continuing debate over size of the effect, but it is statisitically
significant—Science 6/2/06, p.1310)
“The reality of stereotype threat is disconcerting” (Ben-
Zeev et al) – especially when it might be enhanced by
something as simple as checking a box.
32. NYTimes, 10/5/06 – Stereotype threat and aging:
The idea is to flash provocative words too quickly for people to be
aware they read them. .In her first study, Dr .Levy tested the memories of 90 healthy older people. Then
she flashed positive words like “guidance,” ”wise,” “alert,” “sage”
and “learned” and tested them again. Their memories were better
and they even walked faster. Next, she flashed negative words
like “dementia,” “decline,” senile,” “confused,” and “decrepit.” This
time her subjects memories were worse, and their walking paces
slowed…
In his [Thomas Hess] studies, older people did significantly worse on
memory tests if they were first told something that would bring to
mind aging stereotypes. It could be as simple as saying the study
was about how aging affects learning and memory. They did
better on memory test if Dr. Hess first told them something
positive, like saying that there was not much of a decline in
memory with age….
33. It turned out that the people who had more positive
views about aging were healthier over time. They lived
an average of 7.6 years longer than those of a similar
age who did not hold such views…
34. Jane Scanlon Tilla Klotz Milnor Weinstein
Not pictured: Helen Nickerson, Joanne Elliott, Katherine Hazard, Barbara
Osofsky, Amy Cohen, me. Ingrid Daubechies came briefly as tenured professor.
Tenured women in mathematics at Rutgers between 1973 and 2002:
35. What percentage of tenured
positions in the doctoral math
departments held by women?
• 16 of 300 tenured faculty members are female at
the top 10 math departments (a little over 5%).
• Doctoral programs in general: tenured faculty
under 7% female
• In colleges in general, tenured mathematics
faculty are 17% female, tenure-eligible are 31%
female, and other full-time faculty are 47%
female
36. Reasons so few?
• Constant stereotype threat. Always feel
under suspicion.
• Death of a thousand cuts (Virgina Valian, Why so
few?)
• Women, if turned down on a grant
proposal, often do not submit again; men
do. Women don’t apply at many of the top
places in proportion to their numbers.
Maybe life is tough enough for women
math researchers; asking for possible
additional failure is something to avoid, in
order to preserve that important
confidence, keep cortisol levels down.
37. • Family issues – following husbands, prime
child-bearing years are same as grad
school, post-doc, and tenure-earning
years.
• Yet most women mathematicians I know
are married and have had children at
various states in their careers; Tilla
Weinstein had kids while in grad school;
Joan Birman went to grad school after her
children were grown.
• Still, child care is a fundamental, central
issue.
38. A speculation from Gender Differences in .. :
Females may be “less likely to develop the intense,
almost obsessive involvement with mathematics that
may well be critical to truly outstanding
achievement…For men in the Terman study, the
breadth of interests was a negative predictor of
career success, and women ..[had] broader
interests. The culture of the U.S. places a high value
on being a well-rounded individual, and this
continues to be even more true for women than for
men.” But again, many ways to do math.
From a friend: “This sort of thing reminds me of the time that I was walking across
campus thinking about math when someone (male, who I did not know)
interrupted my thoughts by telling me to smile. Sometimes I think intense
involvement with anything is incompatible with accepted behavior for women.”
39. • With respect to traditionally masculine domains
such as math and science, the parents and
teachers of equally gifted children underestimate
girls’ talent and overestimate boys’ talent (Yee and
Eccles, 1988)
• Societal expectation that women should “be
nice.” e.g. (NYT, 9/5/06) instant replay to challenge
line calls at US Open Tennis. Through 9/3, men
challenged 73 calls, women 28. Men were
successful 32% of the time and women 36% of
the time.
40. Women in political office (NYTimes Mag., 10/29/06):
To be sure, these candidates will not win or lose their races
on the basis of their sex alone. Talent on the stump, credentials and fund-raising
will be decisive. The fact that they have the opportunity to make their case, however, speaks to Western
states’ receptivity to women in public life. That legacy dates back to the pioneer era
and was partly born of necessity. The agricultural model of the ranch — unlike, say, the Southern plantation — often demanded that the sexes work side by side.
Western states were the first to grant female suffrage, and allowing women access to the ballot was followed by electing them to high office: the first U.S.
congresswoman hailed from Montana, the first female state senator from Utah.
To this day, political parties in Western states tend to be more open to women than the networks that reign in parts of the East
Coast. “The process for getting on the ballot isn’t as transparent in states
with entrenched machines,” says Debbie Walsh, director of the Center for American Women and Politics at Rutgers University. She
points to her home state, New Jersey, where county chairmen — and they
are almost always men — often determine who will run. “In
part because those decisions are generally made behind closed doors, it makes it harder for women to get involved,” Walsh says.
Indeed, [NJ] and Massachusetts — two states with strong machines — have all-
male Congressional delegations, despite their
progressive political leanings.
JUST LIKE MATH DEPTS THAT ARE ALL MALE!
41. • How to enable greater participation of
women in research in math, physics, and
other sciences is the subject of much on-
going study. See in particular
InterAcademy Council report Women for
Science.
42. p. 3, Women for Science, InterAcademy Council:
“It has been hypothesized … that the high-level aptitude that
characterizes top scientists and engineers might not be
commonly found in women (Summers, 2005). Yet although
there is a substantial body of psychological and brain
research that verifies some differences between
men’s and women’s mental processes, these differences
have not been linked conclusively to S&T aptitude (Hyde et
al., 1990; Leahey and Guo, 2001). That being the case, the
clearing of existing, well-documented hurdles appears to be a
more practical approach than speculating on women’s innate
aptitudes.”
Hyde, J., E. Fennema and S. Lamon. 1990. Gender differences in mathematics
performance: A meta-analysis. Psychological Bulletin,107(2): 139-155.
Leahey, E., and G. Guo. 2001. Gender differences in mathematical
trajectories. Social Forces 80: 713-732.
44. What about physics, engineering,
computer science?
• Low number of female majors in those subjects
is an object of current study
• Math courses are often required; girls realize
that they can do math, so may keep doing it.
Physics is optional; girls may worry about male
advantage in physics (I sure did).
• Remember stereotype threat; females are less
confident about math (even when doing equally
well). Odds of becoming a science major 5 times
as great for math confident vs. anxious.
• Also (affecting both sexes) these subjects (and math!) usually give
lower grades (= have less grade inflation) than other subjects.
45. Barnard College 1986 study
• Mean QSAT of ALL Barnard students was higher
than mean of all U.S. males receiving bachelor’s
degrees IN PHYSICAL SCIENCES. So Barnard
students are capable of earning physical science
degree. Yet 45 degrees in physical sciences out of
1074, and 0 degrees in math. And more phys.sci.
majors from group initially uninterested in phys.sci.
than those initially interested!
• Strong influence of math confidence/anxiety,
independent of QSAT scores (some very high
performers had very low math confidence).
46. Yet small Mount Holyoke College (2000
undergrads) consistently produces more women
graduates per year who go on to get Ph.D.’s in
physical sciences than any other institutions except
MIT, U. of Michigan, U. of Calif. (Rutgers, with its
nearly 50,000 students, was proud to be about at
MHC level).
Self-selection of women who go to Barnard??
48. Summary
1. Math is one of least sex-specific majors.
2. Top SAT scores of 13-year-olds: boys still out-
number girls, by nearly 3:1, but since ratio still
decreasing, not clear where it will end up.
3. Some cognitive differences, at some points in
menstrual cycle. Spatial: Males better at mental
rotation (only!), but it can be taught. Scores on
math tests are strongly influenced by
“stereotype threat” (cortisol levels); “priming” for
tests can erase gender differences.
4. Tenured at top 10: About 5% female
5. Huge changes over 40 years! But publicity
lacking; sex differences are sexy; negative
results are not.

Women in Mathematics (AWM

50. Chipman article conclusions
(in Gender Differences in Mathematics)
• “Views [on women and mathematics] are hard to
change. Actual facts have little influence on
those stereotypes.”
• “It is clear that many people do not want to
believe that girls and women can be good at
mathematics…When observed, small mean
differences get mentally transformed into
dichotomized stereotypes.”
• “The topic of sex differences remains far too
sexy a topic.”
• “A case can be made that the primary women and
mathematics problem in the U.S. today is that people
keep talking about the women and mathematics
problem.”
52. Final words of Susan Chipman:
Education is power. Math is power.
And, it seems, power positions are still not
seen by many as appropriate for women.
