Abstract:
|
In light of the recent controversy about women's innate ability (or lack thereof) to do science and mathematics, we ask whether, in fact, there is a connection between feminism and statistics. Feminist pedagogy and its broader benefits, the use of statistics to support or undermine feminist issues, career paths for feminists in statistics, and whether feminist statistics exists will be addressed. Speakers will present generational and societal perspectives and speak of their own research and experience.
