This workshop will cover three areas: being heard as
students and postdocs, being respected as junior faculty, and being
recognized as senior faculty.
Topics discussed under "being heard as students and postdocs" will
include 1) confronting stereotypes and microinequities in the classroom,
2) overcoming internalized stereotypes and socialization barriers , 3)
overcoming stereotypes imposed by others, and 4) is the traditional coed
classroom a ‘chilly climate’ for women?
Topics discussed under "being respected as junior faculty" will
include 1) differences in teaching styles in the classroom, 2) the
price of not ‘looking like a professor’, 3) the use of language –
deferential vs assertive speech, 4) factors that impact on research
accomplishments and success, and 5) factors that marginalize women.
Topics discussed under "being recognized as senior faculty" will
include 1) the nature of one’s research program and 2) the contradictions
that persist in academic medicine and science.
