A new online course: Physics and Gender To teachers and students at universities in EU/EES countries, Why is it that physics, which is considered objective and not affected by who is doing the research, teaching, and learning, is so dominated by men among its practitioners? Why do some groups of people select not to come to physics – or to leave the area? Could the explanation be found in the culture of our labs and institutes? Or is it deeper – in the subject and how it is (re)presented? How do we make physics more welcoming for a larger part of the population? | Stockholm and Lund Universities (supported by NordForsk) are offering this online course, which is open to all interested students and personnel at universities in Europe (free of charge). To learn more about the course and to apply, google the course code MNXB03 or go to https://canvas.education.lu.se/courses/20692 The deadline for application is February 5, 2023 |
