Description

Females have been historically underrepresented in the STEM fields. In order to attract, promote, and retain more women in technology studies and careers, we must think more critically about the current state of society as well as our connected world.

The video lecture, Women in IT in the New Social Era explores the social, cultural, and structural constructs which impact the presence of women in IT studies and careers and offers solutions on how to increase the rates at which women are entering into and staying in IT fields. Focusing on key research in the area of gender and IT, this video lecture is an excellent educational resource for sociologists, school administrators, IT specialists, students, and researchers.
