Women In Theory Workshop

研讨会的目的有两个方面：首先是提供一个充满活力的教育项目，其次是提供一个绝佳的机会，将来自全国各地（可能还有国际上）不同系的女学生聚集在一起，以培养亲情和同志情谊。通过让高级和初级教师在场，让他们有机会接触到这个领域的榜样。安妮·康登将组织一个长期的指导项目，进一步加强这种最初的关系。我们的长期目标是，这些努力将有助于拓宽女性从事理论研究的渠道。虽然在大学和国家层面都有“计算机科学领域的女性”和“工程领域的女性”小组，但我们增加“理论领域的女性”研讨会的目标是使参与者之间能够进行有意义的技术互动。在这个小组中，将有重要的研究兴趣重叠，以促进每个人都感兴趣的技术项目。已确认的技术演讲者名单：Dorit Aharonov，希伯来大学，Shuchi Chawla，威斯康星大学麦迪逊分校，Julia chuzoy， TTI,Irit Dinur，魏茨曼研究所，Cynthia Dwork，微软研究院，JoanFeigenbaum，耶鲁大学，Shafi Goldwasser，麻省理工学院和魏茨曼研究所，Tal Malkin，哥伦比亚大学，Eva Tardos, Cornell,Lisa Zhang，我们还将有参加讲座的学生和专门讨论与女性科学家特别相关的问题的会议，如找工作和工资谈判，与导师沟通，工作与生活的平衡等。

The purpose of the workshop is two fold: first to deliver an invigoratingeducational program and second is to provide an outstandingopportunity to bring together women students from different departments,across the country (and possibly internationally), so as to foster asense of kinship and camaraderie. And to provide access to the rolemodels in this area by having senior and junior faculty present.Further enhancing this initial relationship with a long time mentoringprogram which will be organized by Anne Condon. Our long term goal isthat these efforts will help widen the pipeline of women doing theory.While there are groups for "Women in Computer Science" and "Women inEngineering" at both the university and national level, our objective increating a "Women in Theory" workshop is to enable meaningful technicalinteractions among the participants. There will be significant overlapin research interests in this group to facilitate a technical programthat is interesting to everyone.List of confirmed technical speakers:Dorit Aharonov, Hebrew University, Shuchi Chawla, University of Wisconsin,Madison, Julia Chuzhoy, TTI,Irit Dinur, Weizmann Institute, Cynthia Dwork, Microsoft Research, JoanFeigenbaum, Yale,Shafi Goldwasser, MIT and Weizmann Institute, Tal Malkin, ColumbiaUniversity, Eva Tardos, Cornell,Lisa Zhang, Bell-LabsWe will also have talks by the participating students and sessionsdevoted to discussions on issues that are especially relevant tofemale scientists such as finding a job and salary negotiations,communicating with your advisor, and work-life balance, etc.
