I got to take a quick trip to Alaska to see Michele present at the annual celebration and banquet of ANSEP, the Alaska Natives in Science and Engineering Program. This is ANSEP’s 20th anniversary, too! Michele did a fantastic job presenting to all 1200+ folks, and gave me a great tour of her neck of the state. Thanks, Michele!
Corey publishes ADVANCE work in IJGST
Congratulations to Corey for leading our recent publication, “STEM Faculty and Parental Leave: Understanding an Institution’s Policy within a National Policy Context through Structuration Theory” in the International Journal of Gender, Science and Technology. Marisol started this paper back in 2010, and Dina, Jordana and I are coauthors. Congrats Corey, and everyone! You can check it out here

Welcome visitors!
I just checked Analytics for the first time (like, ever) for this blog, and we have apparently had over 1000 people visit this website. AWESOME! Welcome, folks, and we hope you find what you’re looking for. Let any of us know if we can be of more help!
New group members Corey Schimpf and Canek Phillips
We are so pleased to welcome two new researchers to RIFE. Corey Schimpf is a second-year engineering education graduate student with a background in sociology who joined the group in May. Corey has been working on the Gender and JEE project and will be shifting to ADVANCE this fall; you can read more about Corey here. Canek Phillips is a new engineering education graduate student with a background in mechanical engineering; you can read more about Canek here.
Welcome, both!
A great 2010 ASEE
We have returned to Purdue from a great and productive ASEE conference, where we got good feedback and met lots of folks interested in our research and with their own interesting work. We’ll be posting our slides from our 4 presentations here in the next few days, so be sure to check back soon!
RIFE at ASEE

A fun romp at UW-Madison
I had a great time talking with folks at the University of Wisconsin-Madison on Friday, May 7. I was invited there by the Society of Women Engineers, via a program called the Celebrating Women in Science and Engineering mini-grant program funded by the Women in Science and Engineering Leadership Institute (WISELI). Thanks again for the opportunity to visit.
My slides are below, and you can watch the video of the presentation here.
Yep, under construction
