SUMMARY:Women in Geography – Paths and Perspectives from Around the World
DESCRIPTION:The SCGES Webinar Series is a regular event organized by its Partner Institutions and coordinated by the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science. It highlights various topics of interest around the focus tasks of the Committee. The initiative was launched in 2022. All past SCGES Webinars are easily accessible for viewing on the SCGES YouTube channel. \nThis online event is the 11th SCGES webinar and is  organized by the International Geographical Union. \nOften seen as a bridge between natural and social sciences\, geography was institutionalized only in the mid to late 1800s\, and its history is intertwined with imperialism\, dominance of gender and other hierarchies.  Recent efforts have been made to uncover the roles of women as practitioners and subjects in various geographical contexts. Our speakers are prominent women geographers engaged with the questions about the participation of women in geography\, the barriers faced and the ways forward\, in their country contexts and in international networks of women in geography. \nThe event will be held online on October 2nd\, 2024\, 13:00-15:00 UTC \nPlease fill in the registration form  to receive the link to access the Webinar. \nIn order to better know our audience\, we would be grateful if you filled out the full registration form.

SUMMARY:Global Women's breakfast: SCGES Webinar "Popularizing science without gender bias"
DESCRIPTION:The SCGES Webinar Series is a regular event organized by its Partner Institutions and coordinated by the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science. It highlights various topics of interest around the focus tasks of the Committee. The initiative was launched in 2022. All past SCGES Webinars are easily accessible for viewing on the SCGES YouTube channel. \n​​Popularizing science without gender bias\nThis hybrid event is the 10th SCGES webinar and is the participation of the Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science to the Global Women’s Breakfast. \nThe event will be held in hybrid format (online and in-person) form on February 27th\, 2024.\nVenue; Institut Henri Poincaré (IHP)\, 11 rue Pierre et Marie Curie\, 75005 Paris\nAgenda\n8:30 AM CET (in person only): Global Women Breakfast\n9:30 AM CET (in person only): Group visit of Maison Poincaré led by Sylvie Benzoni-Gavage\, IHP director\n10:45 AM – 12:45 CET (in person and online): Popularizing science without gender bias \nThe presentations concentrate on two specific challenges:\nHow to contribute popularizing mathematics in a museum among the youth of all origins and gender?\nHow to write an astronomy book for men and women and why is it important? \nSpeakers:\nSylvie Benzoni-Gavage\, professor of mathematics at Université Claude Bernard Lyon 1 and director of the Institut Henri Poincaré (Paris\, France)\nMaison Poincaré\, how to create a museum about mathematics in the light of gender gap issues.\nDesigning a whole museum about mathematics is tremendous endeavour\, in which pitfalls regarding gender gap are lurking. If we are to contribute popularising mathematics among the youth of all origins and gender\, we must address the issue of which image of mathematicians we aim at showcasing. Geniuses\, mostly white men\, winning prizes and medals for their outstanding results? Or a more accessible and more balanced world of mathematics\, made of diverse people cooperating\, of different backgrounds and making their way in a wide variety of manners? The alternative seems easy to settle. Let us talk about it!\nLéa Griton\, associate professor at Sorbonne University (Paris\, France) and researcher in astrophysics at Paris Observatoire PSL\nWriting a pop science astronomy book for everyone: questions I asked myself & answers I gave to others\nWhen Léa was solicited by Quanto/EPFL Press to write a book about scientific exploration of the Solar System\, the first thing that came to her mind was: why should I write a book? Writing a book is very time-consuming and\, as a young (mum and) scientist\, time is something rare and precious. However\, she also thought that\, when she was a teenager herself\, reading books about science helped a lot in deciding to pursue scientific studies. Moreover\, most of the popular science books she could read were written by men\, for instance Hubert Reeves or Jean-Pierre Luminet. She accepted to write the book as a challenge: how to write an astronomy book for men and women? why is it important? In her presentation\, Léa will explain the choices she made with Quanto for “En quête de planètes” and be happy to debate about it. \nPlease fill in the registration form here to receive the link to access the Webinar. \n

SUMMARY:SCGES webinar: "Gender Equality and Beyond in the Polar Sciences."
DESCRIPTION:Women’s involvement in Antarctic science has grown in recent decades\, with women now playing leading and influential roles in Antarctic research at all levels. Nonetheless\, significant barriers to gender equality still exist. Recognizing this\, as well as barriers faced by people of all historically excluded backgrounds\, the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR) established an Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Action Group (AG) in 2021. \nThis webinar\, organised by SCAR\, will therefore provide insights into the barriers faced by women and other marginalised groups from four different perspectives within polar research. Afterwards the speakers and five more members from the SCAR EDI AG will be there for an open discussion. \nThe event will be held online on July 20th\, 2022 at 1-3 PM CEST. \nPlease fill in the registration form to receive the link to access the Webinar. \nIn order to better know our audience\, we would be grateful if you filled out the full registration form. If you do not wish to share all information\, please provide the required fields only. \n\nSpeakers: \n\nPilvi Muschitiello\, SCAR EDI Action Group and DiPSI\, British Antarctic Survey: “Equity\, Diversity and Inclusion in international organisations – insights from SCAR”\nAngus Aldis\, Accessibility in Polar Research: “Polar Challenges: Access Polar and the need for Disabled Inclusion and Representation in Polar Research”\nKimberley Aiken\, University of Tasmania: “Nurturing the I in Diversity”\nAnne Treasure\, South African Polar Research Infrastructure: “Gender equality and beyond in the polar sciences – A South African Perspective”\n\nPanellists: \n\nRenuka Badhe\, European Polar Board; Women in Polar Science\nAdriana Gulisano\, Chief Officer SCAR EDI Action Group\nMorgan Seag\, Leadership Steering Group Member\, SCAR EDI AG\nJilda Caccavo\, Deputy Chief Officer SCAR EDI Action Group\nInga Beck\, SCAR\n\n\n\nWebinar Registration Form

SUMMARY:SCGES webinar: DEVELOPING AND ENACTING CODES OF CONDUCT IN PROFESSIONAL UNIONS
DESCRIPTION:The 8th SCGES webinar will be held online on new schedule : June 28th\, 2022 at 6-8 PM CEST. You are welcome to register here. \nMore and more academic\, research\, and industrial institutions are enacting codes of conduct. These codes clarify an organization’s mission\, values\, and principles and can serve as both internal guidelines and external statements of values and commitments. Several international unions have recently developed such codes of conduct\, and many more are interested in doing so. This webinar will discuss the motivations\, challenges\, and successes for codes of conduct within professional unions. Speakers representing four unions who have recently enacted such codes will present their organizations’ experiences followed by open discussion at the end of the session. \n  \nSpeakers: \n\nLenka Lhostska\, International Union for Physical and Engineering Sciences in Medicine (IUPESM)\nSven Lidin\,  International Union of Crystallography (IUCr)\nLaura Bertha Reyes Sánchez\, International Union of Soil Science (IUSS)\nGillian Butcher\, International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP)\n\nModerator: Carol Woolward\, International Council for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (ICIAM)

SUMMARY:SCGES Webinar |16th December 2022 "(In-)visibility of women in science: historical perspectives"
DESCRIPTION:Today the visibility of women in science is far from matching the numbers of women actually engaged in scientific work. This situation is the outcome of a long history: there were indeed women engaged in science in the past\, and despite their historical invisibility\, historians of science have developed strategies to make them visible. Moreover\, the research strategies developed to study these women of science of the past provide inspiration for endeavors to increase the visibility of women of science of the present\, and to increase the number of women in science in the future. \nOrganized by the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science (IUHPST). \nThe event will be held online on December 16th\, 2022 at 4-6 PM CEST. \nPlease fill in the registration form below to receive the link to access the Webinar. \nRegistration form \nParticipants in the webinar: \n\nPatricia Fara (University of Cambridge): “Tomorrow Began Yesterday: Why History Matters”\nBrigitte Stenhouse (University of Toronto & The Open University): “Navigating Gendered Barriers to Scientific Knowledge Through Spousal Cooperation: Mrs and Mr Mary Somerville”\nIndianara Lima Silva (State University of Feira de Santana): “Visibility of Women in Science\, for an Anti-oppressive World”\n\nWebinar chaired by Catherine Jami
