Gender Disparity In the Sciences

The College for Arts and Sciences (CAS) Interim Dean Andrew Marcus oversaw the production of this poster, “The Elements of Diversity in the College of Arts and Sciences”, for a 2014 conference sponsored by the UO Division of Equity and Inclusion. Pay particular attention to the gender disparities in subjects in red (natural sciences) and green (social sciences), especially among the faculty. This gives you a taste of why we do what we do.

In 2014, a news article discussed a new study that contributed to the growing body of evidence which indicates that gender bias is a continuing challenge in the sciences. Want to change this? We do too.
