Abstract:

It is no secret that there is a long history of women experiencing sexism, inequality, and harassment in the workplace. For women in science, there are often additional challenges attributed to them, as scientists have traditionally been viewed as men and particularly white men. Today, women can lead and overcome adversity in ways our older female colleagues may have never thought possible. So, why do we need to continue to talk about this and educate both our male and female colleagues? Because these acts of sexism, inequality, and harassment continue and those affected should know what support systems and resources exist to help. This event proposes to show a shortened version of the film “Picture a Scientist,” followed by a moderated panel discussion that brings together strong women leaders in the Consortium of Aquatic Sciences Societies to discuss various challenges women face in science fields. The panel may also include academics who study this behavior or those involved with Title IX work, policymakers involved with the Combating Sexual Harassment in Science Act, men who have witnessed and supported their women colleagues, scientists involved in the film, or organizations such as the Association for Women in Science. This event is open to a general audience of both women and men and will include time for questions from the audience.

This luncheon is being co-lead by the SWS Women in Wetlands Section membership.
