MPWR II: Mentoring Partnerships for Women in RUME

该项目将有助于促进RUME(本科数学教育研究)中妇女伙伴关系的发展，并在本科数学教育研究的所有职业阶段为妇女建立一个可持续的支助系统。出于国家报告和研究结果所阐明的需要，该项目将强调面对面的指导和伙伴关系制度，其目标是让女性研究人员参与本科数学教育。该项目还将发挥信息交流中心的作用，为老牌女性提供机会，指导进入该领域的新人，并在本科数学教育的所有职业阶段建立女性研究人员之间的伙伴关系。该项目的目标是为本科生数学教育研究界的女性提供一个环境，讨论她们特有的问题，并促进研究界内研究生和教职员工之间的指导和伙伴关系机会，包括初级和高级。在第一次重大水利工程取得成功的基础上，该项目将在年度RUME会议期间举行一次研讨会，启动这一进程。该项目将有70名参与者。在RUME会议之后，与会者将提交正式的指导和伙伴关系网络的请求，该网络由一名高级教员、两名初级教员和三名研究生组成。该项目与支持妇女和少数群体在STEM学科中的职业生涯的国家努力相一致。它以培养个人、面对面的指导和伙伴关系机会的形式对这种支持提出了具体建议。通过在本科数学教育中支持女性，该项目寻求增加攻读本科数学教育研究的研究生进入学术职位的人数，并提高已经担任学术职位的初级和高级女性教员的生产率。MPWR研讨会将进一步扩大女性在更广泛的基于学科的教育研究(DBER)社区内从事本科数学教育研究的作用。

This project will help stimulate the growth of Partnerships for Women in RUME (Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education) and foster a sustainable support system for women at all career stages in undergraduate mathematics education research. Stemming from the need articulated in national reports and research findings, the project will emphasize face-to-face mentoring and a partnership system that targets participation amongst women researchers within undergraduate mathematics education. The project will also function as a clearinghouse for opportunities for established women to mentor newcomers into the field, and to build partnerships among women researchers of undergraduate mathematics education at all career stages. The project goals are to provide an environment for women in the undergraduate mathematics education research community to discuss issues specific to them, as well as facilitate mentorship and partnership opportunities among graduate students and faculty, both junior and senior, within the research community. Building on the success of MPWR I, the project will initiate the process with a seminar that will occur in conjunction with the annual RUME conference. The project will have seventy participants. Following the RUME conference, participants will submit requests for formalized mentoring and partnership networks composed of one senior faculty, two junior faculty, and three graduate students. The project aligns with the national effort to support the careers of women and minorities within the STEM disciplines. It takes up specific recommendations for this support in the form of fostering personal, face-to-face mentoring and partnership opportunities. By supporting women in undergraduate mathematics education, the project seeks to increase the number of graduate students pursuing undergraduate mathematics education research who will go onto academic positions, as well as to increase the productivity of female junior and senior faculty who already hold academic positions. The MPWR seminar will further expand the role of women pursuing research in undergraduate mathematics education within in the broader Discipline Based Education Research (DBER) community.
