AWIS-CAC is pleased to be partnering with the Chicago Council on Science and Technology (C2ST) to host an Inclusivity in STEM event on the evening of Thursday, November 4th, 2021 from 5:30-7:30 pm. This is a hybrid event with the option for in-person attendance.
The event will consist of a mini-keynote, followed by a panel with audience Q&A. Our mini-keynote will be delivered by Dr. Luis Leyva (Assistant Professor, Mathematics Education, Department of Teaching and Learning Faculty Affiliate, Women’s & Gender Studies Program) of Vanderbilt University.
We will also moderate a discussion on redefining STEM spaces with Dr. Leyva and STEM professionals Hontas Farmer, M.S. (College of Dupage and Elmhurst University), Kristen Witte Ph.D. (Museum of Science and Industry), and Casey Xavier Hall Ph.D. (Medical Social Sciences, Northwestern University), as well as answer audience questions.
The event will focus on building equity for our LGBTQIA+ community in STEM.
