Women in Research: Experiences and Empowerment

Women in Research: Experiences and Empowerment seeks to cultivate critical, intersectional conversations on the experiences of women in research. In addition to mentorship opportunities and connection with female-identifying faculty, students will engage with a wide range of texts and media to explore gender identity in the research environment and how those identities intersect with race, class, culture, and academic discipline. Students will participate in targeted skills workshops designed to bridge system knowledge gaps, empower independent paths in research, and boost confidence when seeking out research opportunities on Duke's campus and beyond.
