- Description
- This volume examines reasons for the persistence of barriers that block the full participation and advancement of underrepresented groups in the sciences and addresses how academic departments and universities can remedy the situation. As a whole, the volume shows positive examples of institutions and departments that have been transformed by the inclusion of women and recommends a set of best practices for continuing growth in positive directions in the United States.
