Why do we see different patterns of representation and advancement in different scientific, engineering, and medical disciplines? Why is it that, as of 2018, women accounted for only 18 percent of hospital CEOs and 16 percent of deans and department chairs, despite the fact that women have made up at least 40 percent of U.S. medical students for more than 25 years? Why is it that despite the fact that women perform as well or better than men on standardized tests in math throughout high school, and earn better grades in math in college, women only make up about 20% of graduates and faculty in math intensive STEM fields like engineering, computer science, and physics? And why is it that even as the share of science and engineering degrees earned by women of color has more than doubled at all levels of education, the numbers are still dwarfed by the number of STEM degrees earned by white women. This session will address these questions and present an overview of the research underlying the shared and unique factors that contribute to the underrepresentation and lack of advancement of women, particularly women of color, in various scientific, engineering, and medical disciplines. Panelists include Dr. Vivian Pinn, Dr. Janis Orlowski, Dr. David Miller, and Dr. Andrei Cimpian.
