Autorenporträt
Erica S. Weisgram, PhD, is professor of psychology at University of Wisconsin–Stevens Point (UWSP). Her research focuses broadly on gender development in children, adolescents, and young adults. Her recent work explores the cognitive construction of stereotypes in preschool children and how cultural stereotypes affect children’s interest in toys. She also examines how gender and gender-related factors (e.g., stereotypes, values, familial roles) affect individuals’ occupational and academic interests with a specific focus on girls’ and women’s interest in math and science occupations. Dr. Weisgram earned her bachelor’s degree at Luther College and her PhD at The University of Texas at Austin. She is the 2016 winner of the UWSP Justus Paul Sabbatical Award and the UWSP Excellence in Teaching Award. Lisa M. Dinella, PhD, is a research scientist who investigates the relations between gender, academic achievement, and career development. Dr. Dinella studies children’s toy play and media exposure, and how gendered experiences shape academic and career pursuits across the lifespan. She is principal investigator of the Gender Development Laboratory at Monmouth University, where she is associate professor of psychology and affiliated faculty member of Gender Studies. Her school-based research endeavors led to her edited book Conducting Science-Based Psychology Research in Schools . Dr. Dinella recently presented on gender disparities in children’s media and toys at The White House in Washington, DC. She drew from her research to provide key recommendations to toy, media, and youth-serving organizations on how to break down gender stereotypes.
