Women in STEM and gendered challenges

Sept. 29, 2020 | Duration: 1 hr. 4 mins.

Women in STEM face myriad challenges that can prevent them from succeeding in academic research careers. During the COVID-19 pandemic, women have been disproportionately burdened with childcare, elder caregiving and other domestic responsibilities. Early reports indicate that domestic and emotional labor disparities are affecting women scientists’ productivity, which is likely to have long-term effects on their careers. Join Suzanne Barbour, dean of the University of North Carolina Graduate School, and Martha Cyert of Stanford University as they talk about policy changes that could ensure gender equity in the sciences.
