The Graduate Student Advisory Committee (GSAC) of the Department of Aerospace Engineering is hosting an educational diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) event to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of COVID-19 on women in academia. The event features Dr. Jessica Calarco, an Associate Professor of Sociology at Indiana University and expert on inequality in education and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Calarco’s talk will be followed by a Q&A open to audience members. We hope that this event will shed light on the disproportionate effects of the pandemic on women academics, and encourage you to empower and uplift women and other groups marginalized by the pandemic. The event will be hosted via Zoom and is open to faculty, staff, and students.
