Women in STEM on a male-dominated campus share the importance of representation in research and science-based fields.
In celebration of Women’s History Month, nine female faculty from The College shared challenges they have faced, triumphs they have experienced and what gives them hope about the future of women in academia.
Erika Nadile is a 2nd-year Biology and Society PhD student in Sara Brownell’s Biology Education Research Lab. She has been studying student participation in large-enrollment science courses and specifically, identifying ways in which participation can be inequitable.
Kristen Parrish is an Associate Professor in the School of Sustainable Engineering and the Built Environment and Chair of the Graduate Programs for the Del E. Webb School of Construction at Arizona State University (ASU).
