Professor Nancy Hopkins will discuss her work as an advocate for women in science over almost two decades since her appointment in 1995 to chair the First Committee on Women Faculty in the School of Science at MIT.
At that time only 1 in 12 faculty members in the MIT School of Science were women. A summary of her committee’s findings published in 1999 came to be known as the ‘MIT Report on the Status of Women Faculty in Science’. This report and the resulting efforts by MIT were recognised by former US President Clinton and are credited with improvements in the status and number of women in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) in MIT and nationally, as well as inspiring countless initiatives globally.
