[Female-math-faculty] Requesting a link for a free screening of the film OAL (Olga Ladyzhenskaya)

[Ghazal Geshnizjani]

Hi everyone,
Happy International Women in Mathematics Day!
I wanted to let you know in addition to our event in recognition of the
day, coming up today at 10:30am (see below) which you can still attend even
if you have not registered.
You can also request a free screening of the OAL film, Olga Ladyzhenskaya,
collectively or individually, before the end of May here

*Title: The Social “Threatwork”: Connecting Women's Exclusion from STEM
Social Networks to Implicit and Explicit Gender Stereotype*

Abstract: When, why, and with what effect are women sometimes excluded from
informal social networks in STEM fields? Drawing on social identity threat
and structural hole theories, a series of studies assess social network
dynamics that may limit women's full inclusion in STEM circles.
In experiments with 1,065 Waterloo undergraduates enrolled in
male-dominated STEM majors (including math), women (but not men)
anticipated repetitional penalties if they associated with a woman who
expressed stereotypically feminine interests. Women whose social network
positions gave them less brokerage (i.e., reduced ability to manage
information flows between unconnected friends) were less willing to
befriend and socially integrate other women with feminine- (vs. STEM-)
stereotypic interests. Next, in field research with 1,247 full-time
employees working at North American STEM organizations, men who held
stronger STEM=male implicit associations reported less often choosing to
socialize with their female teammates. In turn, for women at these same
organizations, receiving fewer social ties from male teammates was
associated with worse workplace outcomes: lower engagement, self-efficacy,
and feelings of fit, plus greater concerns about being judged on the basis
of gender at work. Finally, a series of mathematical simulations model the
estimated impact of men intervening to counteract gender bias and support
women's full inclusion in STEM workplaces. Implications for advancing
gender inclusion in STEM fields are discussed.
