Please RSVP for UMass Lowell’s Center for Women & Work’s 16th
Annual Gathering at the Well Forum (it’s free but we need to know numbers so we can order dinner!)
Who Wears the Pants? Women Workers in Male- Dominated Fields
What
do engineering, the clergy, the military, construction, computer
science, management,
and policing all have in common? They are all historically male-
dominated occupations. Join the Center for Women & Work as we
explore the experiences of women workers and students who have entered
these fields. We will examine the issue through various
lenses: through academic research that provides statistics and examines
the influence of long-held societal values; through women's stories of
what it’s like to work in these fields; and through the narratives of
those who advocate for gender equity in these
fields.
CWW faculty Associates Kim Merriman (Management), Melissa Morabito (Criminology and Justice
Studies), and Michelle Haynes (Psychology) will present findings from their research.
