5. Presentations at NDSU

Participated in NDSU’s annual Women’s Week with a panel presentation on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, entitled “FORWARD After 5.”  Burnett, Schwert and Weber reflected on the NDSU climate for women after close to 5 years of targeted efforts through the Advance FORWARD project.

Participated in NDSU Women’s Club Winter Event with a presentation on February 9, 2013, entitled “Retaining and Advancing Women Faculty” by Bilen-Green.

Presented results of the 2011-12 Advance FORWARD Gender & Equity Research grant: “Stereotyped: The Myth of Simple Classroom Fixes” at a pedagogical luncheon in February 2013.  The researcher-panelists explored stereotype threat, including ways in which faculty activate and ameliorate stereotype threat in our undergraduate classrooms. Using evidence from NDSU and across the nation, they presented results from their investigations of the complexities of assessing student learning in light of readily activated stereotype threat (Jennifer Momsen, assistant professor of biological sciences; Mila Kryjevskaia, assistant professor of physics; Lisa Montplaisir, assistant professor of biological sciences; Erika Offerdahl, assistant professor of chemistry and biochemistry; Warren Christensen, assistant professor of physics; and Shanda Lauer, graduate student in biological sciences).  Over 90 NDSU faculty attended the luncheon.
