The IEEE RAS Women in Engineering (WIE) Committee recently completed a several year study of gender representation in conference leading roles at RAS-supported conferences. Individuals who hold these roles select organizing committees, choose speakers, and make final decisions on paper acceptances. The authors lead a discussion about the findings and the story behind the study. In addition to presenting detailed data and releasing anonymized datasets for further study, the authors provided suggestions on changes to help ensure a more diverse and representative robotics community where anyone can thrive.
Presented by:
Laura Graesser, Robotics at Google, USA
Additional Discussion Led by:
Lydia Tapia, University of New Mexico, USA
Aleksandra Faust, Google Brain Research, USA
Hadas Kress-Gazit, Cornell University, USA
