Crippled at the Starting Gate

The Graduate Schools Created and Perpetuate the Gender Gap in Science and Engineering

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book argues that the United States needs an education bill to send more Americans to graduate school in the sciences, technology, and engineering. Graduate schools need to change their culture not only to recruit more women, African-Americans, and Latinos into science, but to promote them to senior faculty positions.
