{"title":"Women in physics leadership","authors":"Laura McCullough","doi":"10.1063/1.5110154","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1063/1.5110154","url":null,"abstract":"If we are to increase women’s participation in physics, we need to attract and retain women at all levels in the field. Strong gains have been made in faculty numbers at the associate and assistant professor level, but full professors remain predominantly male, and the numbers of women working as lab directors or department chairs is mostly unknown. There has been very little research looking at the participation level of physics women in a broad range of leadership positions such as director, lab manager, dean, or department head. This paper will showcase the double bind that physics women in leadership positions face as they are forced to simultaneously deal with the many barriers facing women in leadership and those specific to women in physics fields. Given the parallel structures of barriers involved, women in physics who want to advance into leadership positions have fewer role models, face more unconscious bias, and have to deal with higher standards.If we are to increase women’s participation in physics, we need to attract and retain women at all levels in the field.

Progress has been so slow, however, that convergence may look just like a mirage. Astronomy is no exception. As an astronomer, when a weak signal overlaps a high-level noise, I wonder, “Is there a real detection of gender balance?” In this paper I address trends and correlations versus region, country, and age, as well as my personal experience in a country where science, and astronomy in particular, have “exploded” in the last three decades. The paths to be adopted then were expected to follow those already explored by others. Yet creative new approaches have proven to be very successful. It may be that gender balance in science also needs to step away from standard approaches and unveil creative avenues that may lead to a fair and innovative solution.Over the last century, work toward gender balance in science has taken a long and tenacious path.

The Government of India, which funds nearly all the research institutes in physics and a significant fraction of the universities, continues to fund interventions instituted several years ago to address the gender gap; we present the statistics on these interventions. For a long time, India lacked an institutionalised framework from within the physics profession that could address the gender disparity in physics.

As a result, AWE has recently appointed a D & I Manager within the human resources department, and created D & I working groups within functions such as Science, Engineering and Technology (SET) to help implement AWE’s D & I strategy. With this strategy, we aim to transform our business, improve programme delivery, drive innovation, raise our sense of pride and trust, and build an inclusive culture. Within AWE, a grassroots network called the “Women’s Network” has been set up to provide a place for exchanging information relevant to employees in a more informal atmosphere. Within SET, the focus will be on helping employees to understand the benefits of a diverse and inclusive workforce and the behaviours we need to display to develop our talent.

We use the Japan Physics Society (JPS) member records for the past 40 years to estimate the gender difference of obtaining academic positions. More than 17,000 individuals belong to JPS, which covers majority of the researchers working on pure physics studies in universities or research institution. The records show that the ratio for women who remain as JPS members is less than that of men by 30% throughout the past 25 years. The women left physics research at a significantly higher rate over the 10 years since they were admitted as members of JPS. The result quantitatively shows the “leaky pipeline” problem of women physicists in Japan.","PeriodicalId":183678,"journal":{"name":"WOMEN IN PHYSICS: 6th IUPAP International Conference on Women in Physics","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121958483","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
