Understanding and appreciation between genders continues to be a work in progress. As people seek ways to make room for alternative perspectives, research-based solutions have become especially helpful. In this volume, seasoned professors tackle gender bias in the classroom by defining challenges specific to the sciences and discussing ways to dismantle and confront biases. With solutions backed by research, this work will be useful for those working in all science
and technology fields.
