Women in academia: is gender parity really around the corner?
A seminar by Marcella Corsi of Sapienza University at SISSA on Monday 20 
May, 2.30 pm

Both women and men are working in research organi­sations and higher 
education institutions, and they take up distinct roles, such as 
conducting research, teaching, managing staff and structures, or 
implementing proce­dures. At the same time, research and higher 
education institutions also work for people. While higher education 
institutions contribute to training future female and male 
professionals, research organisations investigate a diverse spectrum of 
topics that affect the lives of women and men. On 20 May, Marcella 
Corsi, Professor of Economics at Sapienza University of Rome, will show 
that several mechanisms tend to (re-)produce gender inequalities in 
research institutions, from the masculine image of science to the 
stereotypical subject choices of students, and how recognising and 
taking into account sex and gender differences is paramount in 
scien­tific knowledge creation. The seminar entitled "Women in academia: 
is gender parity really around the corner?" will take place between 2.30 
and 4.30 pm at SISSA in room 128.
