Is Your Classroom Woman-Friendly? Ten Strategies for Reaching This Goal
Wasburn, Mara H.
College Teaching, v52 n4 p156 Fall 2004
A recent report by the National Council for Research on Women (2001) revealed that the number of women entering technology-driven careers has declined. Among the reasons cited is the sometimes chilly climate for women in college classrooms, particularly classrooms with technology-rich environments. In this article, I present strategies that instructors in any discipline can use to make women students feel more welcome in their classrooms. Also included is a group exercise that instructors can use with their students to raise awareness of gender dynamics in the classroom and in everyday life.
