Far from being incompatible with each other, gender studies and STEM fields can connect in ways that are beneficial, argues Professor Carol Colatrella of Georgia Tech. Although gender studies and STEM are often seen as sharing only one concern—the (low) number of women and underrepresented minorities in STEM fields—gender studies can additionally contribute to STEM education by reframing important knowledge around social organization and cultures, enabling working and thinking “outside the box."
This event is part of a year-long celebration of the 30th Anniversary of Women's & Gender Studies Program at Lafayette. Read more about the Women's and Gender Studies Program here.
