Underrepresentation of women in STEM careers
Underrepresentation of women in STEM careers
Order Description
This paper must be APA format, have in text citation and a references page. This needs to be a thoughtful and critical analysis of the underrepresentation of women in
STEM careers. I have included three links. one is a controversial explanation by Larry Summers former Harvard president and the other is a more thoughtful unbiased
explanation that does not harp on a biological (reductionist) explanation of why women are not in more higher level academic STEM (Math and Science) positions across
research facilities and among tenured faculty. The last link is more of a social learning and proactive approach and solving the issue.

used in this two page paper).
