IWD23: Using technology to drive social change ๐ฉ๐พโ๐ฌ
Happy International Women's Day! ๐ฉ๐พโ๐ฌ๐ฉโ๐ป๐ฉโ๐ญ
This year I am facilitating a panel on the topic 'Using technology to drive social change' and it's all about highlighting the incredible impact of women in STEM fields. ๐
Have you attempted to explore the leading quote repositories for quotes from women in STEM regarding their futuristic perspectives, insights, impact, and contributions? I have taken the initiative to do so myself, and based on my anecdotal findings, I estimate that approximately 80-90% of the quotes from women are centred around their experiences as women in STEM. ๐งฎ
From my perspective, this is a symptom of the systemic challenges has faced over the last 50 years and is continuing to address. ๐
While it is important to raise awareness regarding being a woman in STEM, it can also be reductive and one-dimensional when we donโt recognise women for their wider contributions and perspectives. ๐ช
That's why this panel is taking a different approach by focusing on the contributions, impact, and insights of women in STEM that extend beyond just being a woman in the field. ๐
STEM is a vehicle for achieving further reaching goals and objectives that people are passionate about. ๐
Let's drive social change together for a fairer, more equitable world! ๐ซ
