The University of Oregon College of Education, Educational Studies department is hosting the 4th biannual meeting of the network Gender & STEM. July 31-Aug. 2nd 2018.



The network Gender & STEM, an international group of scholars dedicated to better understanding education, career choices, and the professional experiences of girls, woman, boys and men through research, policy analysis, and professional development.  The network was founded by a Dutch national organization "VhTo<https://www.vhto.nl/over-vhto/english-page/>".



The conference proposal system is now open.  Please go to https://stem2018.uoregon.edu/calls-for-proposal/ for information about the proposal format and to submit your proposal.  Proposals will be accepted until November 27, 2017.



The Network Gender & STEM conference will be held at the University of Oregon, July 31 to August 2nd, 2018 in beautiful Eugene, Oregon USA.



This conference aims to present empirical research and instructional practice, exploring how STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) educators, practitioners, and students form STEM identities, how those identities are formed or constrained by existing structures, and the ways that instruction and educational policy can broaden conceptions of who can do STEM research and practice. Complementary perspectives will address how such pathways can be facilitated at various points along students' and young adults' educational and occupational development.



An important aim of this conference is to extend the interdisciplinary collaboration of researchers, members of industry, and educators to move beyond results which highlight single aspects of issues raised by the study of Gender & STEM identities. Implications for educational and vocational training and practice will be discussed.



The Network Gender & STEM conference team: Jenefer Husman, Joanna Goode, Jennifer Ruef, Sarah Stapleton, Jill Baxter, Helen Watt, Noortje Jansen, and Lisa Fortin?
