[Phys-L] Commitment to Gender Equity at Scholarly Conferences

[Richard Hake <rrhake@earthlink.net>]

Some subscribers to Phys-L might be interested in a new petition 
<http://bit.ly/QLN8Kz> in favor of GENDER BALANCE IN ACADEMIC 
CONFERENCES initiated by Dan Sperber (Cognitive Science and 
Philosophy, Central European University Budapest, and Institut Jean 
Nicod, Paris); Virginia Valian (Psychology and Linguistics, CUNY 
Graduate Ctr and Hunter College); and others  as listed on the 
petition.

They have established a website at <http://bit.ly/PsPfhM>.

In this regard, "Gender Issues in Science/Math Education (GISME) 
[Hake & Mallow (2008)] may be of interest.

I thank Gloria Origgi (2012) 
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gloria_Origgi> of the HoPoS-L list for 
alerting me to this petition.
