Women in IS - Panel Discussion Information Systems DIGEST Podcast
-
- Technology
Celebrating International Women's Month, host Casandra Grundstrom sets out to explore the impact of gender in the greater IS community. Through the research and lived experience of three gender scholars—Associate Professor Silvia Masiero, Assistant Professor Safa'a AbuJarour, & PhD Student Franziska Schmitt—this episode of the IS DIGEST sets out to illuminate the realities of womanhood in academia. While we were sadly unable to procure representation from the entire spectrum of women, know that this podcast agrees with the overwhelming scientific consensus that gender represents a social construct rather than a biological dichotomy.
During the episode, we reflect on gender and connected biases, women-related facts in research, the work carried out by the AIS Women's Network College, the importance of representation and mentorship, and round out our discussion with ways forward for change. Will this episode accrue only 77% of the project total episode listens?
