Gender & STEM Conference 2014

2nd Gender & STEM Network Conference

Gender and STEM: What schools, families, and workplaces can do?
3—5 July 2014, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany

The first conference in 2012 focused on individual gendered pathways towards (and away from) STEM fields. In 2014, we highlight the roles of schools, families and workplaces for supporting or constraining girls/women and boys/men to choose and persist in STEM, versus other pathways.

This conference aims to present empirical research and educational policies, concerning how individual and social aspects impact individuals’ motivation, attitudes, performance, educational and career choices and pathways into STEM fields. Complementary perspectives will address how such pathways can be facilitated at various points along students’ and young adults’ educational and occupational development.

The planned conference is an initiative of the Gender & STEM Network: www.genderandstem.com
