Subtle Micro-Messages Impact the Success of Women
and Girls in STEM
 Presenter: Dr. Robbin Chapman, Manager of diversity
recruiting for the School of Architecture and Planning,
Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, MA
Description:
Micro-inequities are those subtle
"micro-messages" that devalue, discourage, and dismiss
women and girls as exceptional scholars, scientists, and
engineers. To increase women in STEM careers requires
examining practices to ensure equitable treatment in the classroom.
During these two webinars learn:
- About
micro-messaging, micro-affirmation, and micro-inequity.
- Practical,
hands-on techniques to recognize, challenge and educate others
about micro-inequities.
- Strategies for
sending micro-messages that fuel positive behaviors and
outcomes for women and girls in STEM fields.
Session 1 provides the building blocks to
understanding micro-messaging and its impact on communication and
performance.
Session 2 delves deeper into the core concepts plus
gives participants tools for taking action to diagnose and devise
interventions in micro-inequities that they perceive in the
classroom and workplace.
