What Can I Do? CSWA Town Hall
I often get questions from graduate students and postdocs related to how they can help CSWA. They know they don?t have the time to commit to being a full-fledged committee member, but they believe in what we?re doing and want to do something to support women in astronomy & help create a female-friendly workplace. We have had some great suggestions from CSWA members, CSWA alums, and AASWOMEN readers. Today?s suggestions is especially timely because the CSWA Town Hall, ?Unconscious Bias, Stereotype Threat, and Impostor Syndrome,? is taking place TODAY, Tuesday, June 4, at 12:45 - 1:45 pm in Wabash Ballroom 3 of the Indiana Convention Center.
Today?s suggestion: Invite your department chair/boss/research supervisor to attend the CSWA Town Hall.
Hope to see you there!
