Abstract:
|
The cultural revolution from the #metoo movement has demonstrated that sexual harassment and sexual assault are far too common and often go unreported in professional settings, including in the field of Statistics. The focus of this session is to discuss how sexual misconduct can negatively impact the careers of the victims and how we as a community can make positive changes. Panelists from diverse backgrounds will share their hopes and concerns, they will discuss how to increase participation of women and minorities at conferences, and they will discuss what administrative systems and mechanisms are in place (or should be) for preventing or dealing with sexual harassment and assault. Our goal is to open the dialogue of recognizing and condemning predatory sexual behavior, and provide support and inclusion to all members of the statistics community.
