2008 - 2009 Groups
Gender and Science
Gender and gender differences in the sciences remain hot topics
of discussion. Our group will examine current literature and
endeavor to separate reality from propaganda. While we do not feel
we will be able to "solve" the "problem," we will engage in open
and honest dialog about the issues.
