Event Details

Please join Maria Fedorova for a talk on "Breaking the Silence: Women in Science at Macalester College." During the spring semester of 2023, a team of students worked in the Macalester Archives to investigate the history of women (faculty, students, and staff) who engaged in scientific activities at Macalester College from 1890 to 1990. Exploring various topics, such as science curriculum, female student enrollments in STEM majors, and extracurricular activities in sciences for female students, the group uncovered a rich and complex history. This workshop aims to present the findings of their research, share their insights into the learning process, and discuss strategies to bring the often overlooked stories from the Macalester Archive to the forefront. All faculty and staff are welcome.  Lunch will be provided.
