The GEP's Faculty Recognition and Leadership
Program was established
to recognize the strengths, accomplishments,
and leadership abilities of women faculty in the sciences at Hunter and to
promote the advancement of all
science faculty.
Current Projects
Video Interviews
Through our partnership with
students, staff and faculty in Hunter's Department of Film and Media Studies, the GEP's website now features video interviews with some of Hunter's
outstanding women scientists. Click
here to hear about their
work and their experiences in science.
If you would like to be interviewed, or if you would like
to make a suggestion about future interviews, please contact
the GEP at gender.equity@hunter.cuny.edu or
212-650-3001.
Hallmarks of Success
The GEP is embarking on a new
initiative - part basic research and part application - to determine the "hallmarks of success" in science disciplines. Our aim is to increase women's
success and influence in science. We will review the achievements of successful
scientists to create a guide for different science specialties. We expect
the hallmarks to include federal grant funding, high-impact journal publications,
national conference presentations, and various awards and honors. We will
examine
sex, age, and specialty differences, among others.
We welcome participation from
faculty members in all stages of this project. We can provide
some support. We envision a
series of steps for each research
area that includes:
developing objective indicators of success
obtaining CVs from successful scientists
interviewing leaders about successes,
failure, and turning points
developing a coding scheme to arrive at a list of hallmarks
producing a guide with the hallmarks and how to achieve
them
If you would like to contribute to any part of the project, please
