The course will be a mixture of description and theory – it is hoped that by understanding the theory that the practice will be made all the easier. ...
متن کاملChoosing the Geoscience Major: Important Factors, Race/Ethnicity, and Gender
Geoscience faces dual recruiting challenges: a pending workforce shortage and a lack of diversity. Already suffering from low visibility, geoscience does not resemble the makeup of the general population in terms of either race/ethnicity or gender and is among the least diverse of all science, technology, engineering, and math fields in the U.S. Many studies discuss recruiting and diversity iss...
متن کاملOne Step Forward, or Two Steps Back? Diversity Management And Gender In Organizational Analysis
