Session Description

This panel discussion addresses practical strategies to improve the landscape of gender harassment. The discussion will be built around a framework drawn from a recent book that explores the current state of sexual harassment in engineering.
The four panelists represent a diverse group of women engineers. Using their wealth of experiences and their expertise in the research literature, they will present a concrete picture of gender harassment — and share solutions.
A particular emphasis will be on approaches that can be implemented from the bottom up — by individuals or workgroups — without relying on the top levels of an organization to take the initiative.
