Mobilizing Women of the STEM Diaspora (MW-STEM)

在研究和学术机构中，女性在科学和技术领域的代表性不足。在美国，STEM散居的女性是将更多女性作为榜样、导师和同行带入STEM领域的重要因素。这一拟议的讲习班是在前两次关于侨民问题的一般性会议的基础上举办的，其成果侧重于研究合作和有针对性的建议。综合模式旨在使与会者迅速组成小组，并在整个研讨会期间注重成果。此外，该研讨会以国际性别峰会（由NSF于2013年主办）和全球散居论坛（由美国国务院于2013年主办）为基础。这两个地点都为STEM散居地的妇女提供了合作机会，预计大多数与会者将从这两次峰会中确定。研究生和早期职业妇女从散居和有色人种的妇女将被邀请参加研讨会，并会见学术和研究人员从干散居。组织者还将使用网络调查工具和评估来探索研讨会中女性的网络特征，并使用社交媒体工具来跟踪研讨会后的参与者并保持网络连接。动员STEM散居妇女（MW-STEM）研讨会有两个目标：（1）建立STEM散居妇女的全球网络，（2）在发展科学合作方面提供同行和机构间的指导。MW-STEM将与2014年2月在芝加哥举行的美国科学促进协会年会一起举办，并将由美国国务院和AAAS研究员共同主办。拟议的研讨会将提供一个空间，让参与者通过促进分组会议努力取得共同成果。妇女、科学、技术、工程和数学议程的设计是围绕创建团队，首先围绕一般主题主题进行组织：（1）研究合作;（2）同行指导网络;（3）为2014年和2015年性别问题首脑会议制定主题和提案;以及（4）白色论文/评论作者。讲习班的产品将通过以下方式传播：（1）拟定和提交提案;（2）发表关于已确定的STEM散居妇女问题的审查文件;（3）通过LinkedIn和其他社交媒体建立同行指导网络。

Women are underrepresented in science and technology within research and academic institutions.Women of the STEM diaspora within the U.S. represent an important element in bringing more women into STEM fields as role models, mentors and peers. This proposed workshop builds on two previous general sessions on the diaspora and focuses the outcome on research collaborations and targeted proposals. The synthesis model is designed to quickly form teams among participants and is outcome focused throughout the workshop session. In addition, the workshop builds on the International Gender Summit (hosted by NSF in 2013) and the Global Diaspora Forum (hosted by U.S. State Department in 2013). Both venues have provided collaborative opportunities for women of the STEM diaspora and it is anticipated that most of the participants will be identified from these two summits. Graduate students and early career women from the diaspora and women of color will be invited to attend the workshop and meet with academic and researchers from the STEM diaspora. Organizers will also use networking survey tools and assessments to explore network characteristics of women in the workshop and use social media tools to follow participants post-workshop and to maintain network connections.The Mobilizing Women of the STEM Diaspora (MW-STEM) workshop has two goals: (1) build global network on women of the STEM diaspora, and (2) provide peer-to-peer and institution-to-institutional mentoring in the development of scientific collaborations. MW-STEM will be hosted in conjunction with the annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Chicago, February 2014 and will be co-hosted by the U.S. State Department and AAAS Fellows. The proposed workshop will provide a space where the participants work to a common outcome using facilitated breakout sessions. The MW-STEM agenda is designed around creating teams that first organize around general topic themes: (1) research collaborations; (2) peer mentoring networks; (3) theme and proposal development towards 2014 and 2015 Gender Summits; and (4) white paper/review authorship. Workshop products will be disseminated through (1) proposal development and submission; (2) published review paper on identified issues for women of the STEM diaspora; (3) peer mentoring networks established through LinkedIn and other social media.
