Women, Science and Interdisciplinary Ways of Working
In an October 22 article for Inside Higher Ed, SSRC program director Diana Rhoten and Stephanie Pfirman of Barnard College consider the twin trends of an "interdisciplinary arms race" and the effort to diversify the scientific enterprise. Could one trend support the other, if more women are attracted to interdisciplinary science? While agreeing that the promise of interdisciplinary research could be a significant lure, women will not stay in the sciences, they say, unless measures are also taken to reform systems of work, evaluation and promotion.
