A case for building inclusive research communities as an integral part of science and engineering graduate education
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we address the issue of research communities in science and engineering and their effects on graduate students and women in particular. We present our observations of graduate student experiences in one particular research community. These observations are considered in the context of research done by national science institutes and feminist theorists about the under-representation of women in scientific research communities. We offer suggestions as to how community-building activities can enhance science and the scientific experience for all involved.

متن کاملBuilding a Multi-Objective Model for Multi-Product Multi-Period Production Planning with Controllable Processing Times: A Real Case Problem
Model building is a fragile and complex process especially in the context of real cases. Each real case problem has its own characteristics with new concepts and conditions. A correct model should have some essential characteristics such as: being compatible with real conditions, being of sufficient accuracy, being logically traceable and etc. This paper discusses how to build an efficient mode...

This study aims at quantifying the influence on the traversability of road network of road network caused by building collapse in earthquake. To this end, an analysis method on post-earthquake traversability of road network considering building collapse is proposed. First, the time-history analysis of seismic response based on the multi-degree of freedom (MDOF) model is performed for regional b...
متن کاملGovernance, Leadership, And Management In Adaptive And Inventive Digital Communities: A Research Agenda To Reduce Waste In Graduate Education
Building on transaction cost economics, this work describes the four different forms of communities and introduces transaction benefits as a means of explaining their existence. A research project to investigate governance, leadership, and management in two of the four forms of communities, adaptive and inventive, is described. It is argued that these digital communities are a way of engaging g...
