Picture a Mathematician: Allyship Workshop for Building Gender Equity in the Mathematical Sciences

Workshop facilitators: Dr. Stephanie Salomone, University of Portland, and Dr. Stan Yoshinobu, University of Toronto.

The next workshop is May 18, 2022, 3-5PM Eastern Time. This workshop is a zoom workshop.

Workshop Abstract

Gender equity in the mathematical sciences and in the academy broadly is not yet a reality. Women (and people of color, and other historically excluded groups) are confronted with systemic biases, daily experiences, feelings of not being welcome or included, that in the aggregate push them out of the mathematical sciences. This workshop is designed primarily for men in math (although all genders are welcome to participate) to inform and inspire them to better see some of the key issues with empathy, and then to take action in creating a level-playing field in the academy. 

Workshop activities include viewing “Picture a Scientist” before the workshop, a 2-hour synchronous workshop via zoom, and follow-up discussions via email and Discord server. *All genders welcome AND this workshop is designed for men to work on allyship.

For more information, please contact Dr. Salomone.
