International Workshop on the Status and Participation of Women in STEM Disciplines and Careers

机构研究协会将组织和举办两次为期三天的研讨会，间隔大约一年，以审查现有的国际知识库和示范政策和计划，旨在提高妇女在科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）学科和职业中的地位和参与。简而言之，研讨会的主要目标是：(1)系统地回顾相关的国际研究文献，以增强对所有女性充分参与STEM学科和职业的障碍和挑战的理解；(2)确定可靠和可信的数据来源和数据缺口，以便制定研究议程。使用国际比较数据，性别和种族/民族交叉点的影响，女性在STEM中的共性和差异，以及有效提高女性水平的战略、政策和计划？将确定美国参与STEM的情况。智力优势：项目？本书的智力优势在于其包容性的系统方法，通过对相关国际比较研究和评价文献的深入和广泛的回顾和分析，促进跨学科讨论，并作为确定战略研究议程的基础。讲习班的一个主要组成部分将是在指导下讨论现有的关于国家、区域和国际各级提高妇女地位的政策、做法和方案研究的优缺点。it’全面参与STEM职业。研讨会将确定STEM领域女性数据和研究文献中的关键差距，并确定关于国际文化和结构差异和共性的比较数据，以确定超越国家、政治和文化界限的STEM领域女性进一步研究的问题和主题。最终目标是设计、实施和评估有效的项目和实践，以扩大美国和国外所有女性在STEM领域的参与。其他贡献包括确定合作者和为未来的国际合作建立网络。更广泛的影响：项目？将通过建立多国研究资料库和一项议程来实现更广泛的影响，该议程最终将产生丰富和有竞争力的技术劳动力，并因所有妇女的更广泛参与而得到加强。研讨会将提出吸引和留住更多不同能力、种族和民族的女性的战略，不仅是进入STEM劳动力，而且是进入STEM领导职位，从而为实现加强科学、技术和经济能力的更广泛目标做出贡献。预计讲习班成果将包括一份报告，该报告将总结对相关文献的审查；确定研究、数据收集和评估方面的差距；并概述了建立战略研究议程的建议。该报告的调查结果将通过一个讲习班网站以及在国际科学会议和国家劳动力政策首脑会议上的发言进行传播。

The Association for Institutional Research will organize and conduct two three-day workshops, scheduled approximately one year apart, to review the existing international knowledge base and exemplary policies and programs designed to enhance the status and participation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines and careers. In brief, the primary goals of the workshops are to: (1) systematically review relevant international research literatures to enhance understanding of the barriers and challenges to the full participation of all women in STEM disciplines and careers; and (2) identify reliable and credible data sources and data gaps in order to create a research agenda. Using international comparative data, the effects of the intersections of gender and race/ethnicity, commonalities and differences among women in STEM, and strategies, policies, and programs that are effective in enhancing women?s participation in STEM will be identified. Intellectual Merit: The project?s intellectual merit lies in its inclusive systematic approach using intensive and extensive reviews and analyses of the relevant international comparative research and evaluation literatures to catalyze interdisciplinary discussion, and serve as a basis for defining a strategic research agenda. A major component of the workshop will be a guided discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of extant research on policies, practices, and programs at the national, regional, and international levels that enhance women?s full participation in STEM careers. The workshop will identify critical gaps in the data and research literatures on women in STEM fields, and identify comparative data on international cultural and structural differences and commonalities to pinpoint issues and topics for further research on women in STEM fields that transcend national, political, and cultural boundaries. The ultimate goal is to design, implement, and evaluate effective programs and practices to broaden the participation of all women in STEM fields in the U.S. and abroad. Additional contributions include identifying collaborators and creating networks for future international collaborations. Broader Impacts: The project?s broader impact will be realized through the establishment of a repository for multi-national research and an agenda that will eventually result in a rich and competitive technical workforce that is strengthened by the broader participation of all women. The workshop will propose strategies to attract and retain more women across ability, race, and ethnic groups not only into the STEM workforce, but also into STEM leadership positions, thus contributing to achieving the broader goal of strengthening scientific, technical and economic capabilities. Workshop outcomes are expected to include a report that: summarizes reviews of relevant literatures; identifies gaps in research, data collection, and evaluation; and outlines recommendations for establishing strategic research agendas. Findings from the report will be disseminated through a workshop website as well as through presentations at international scientific conferences and meetings and national workforce policy summits.
