Thursday Afternoon Workshop:

The science is easy – navigating the interpersonal/professional issues is complicated! How should you interact with colleagues and collaborators? How should you try to present yourself? What is professional? What about job interviews, negotiations? Where are the lines with sexual harassment? Numerous studies have shown that there is unconscious bias against women in business, academia and sciences. Bias affects treatment with respect, grading, hiring, promotion, tenure and pay. Other hurdles affect women and men, micro aggressions, ‘gender shrapnel’, sexual harassment; and some efforts to protect women can actually hinder careers. We will discuss current data and strategies for men and women, faculty, students, and department chairs, for professional success, improving diversity, and for dealing with gender bias or harassment.
