My course "Women and Gender in Science" may be of interest to a broad audience. We address the question, "Why are women under-represented in science?" primarily by going through relevant social science literature. We examine arguments for and against innate differences, socialization, and discrimination. We also look at what has and can be done to increase the number of women. Care is taken to address the fact that different scientific disciplines are different with respect to the representation of women, not only in percentages, but at what career stage those percentages drop and the explanations for why. Here is the syllabus, with readings linked when not in violation of copyright.
