Not only are women and minorities underrepresented in STEM careers, there is strong evidence that many academic departments are resistant to addressing the concerns that keep them from entering careers in these fields. In light of recent controversies surrounding these issues, this volume, examining reasons for the persistence of barriers that block the full participation and aWomen in scienceCongressesWomen scientistsEmploymentCongressesFeminism and scienceCongressesElectronic books.Women in scienceWomen scientistsEmploymentFeminism and science305.43/5Bystydzienski Jill M.1949-893088Bird Sharon R.1965-893089MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457605703321Removing barriers1994742UNINA
