アブスト
Carol Frieze, a researcher from Carnegie Mellon University, will present
her work on the role of culture and environment in creating a balanced
Computer Science program in terms of breath of interests, student
personalities, and particularly gender. She does not argue, as usually
done, that there exist gender differences in how women relate to
Computer Science, but rather that low participation of women comes from
the culture surrounding Computer Science. She draws on a qualitative
study done with the entering class of 2004 at Carnegie Mellon, the most
successful CS department attempt to balance its gender ratio. She will
also emphasise the importance of Women@SCS in that process, a group that
she now directs.
