Women in STEM Careers: International Perspectives on Increasing Workforce Participation, Advancement and Leadership, co-edited by Diana Bilimoria, KeyBank Professor and professor and chair of organizational behavior at Weatherhead School of Management, and Linley Lord, associate professor and director of the Maureen Bickley Centre for Women in Leadership at Australia’s Curtin University, is now available.
Women in STEM Careers draws on current research from the United States, Australia and Europe examining women’s participation, advancement and leadership in STEM fields. The book explores the nature of STEM careers across industry and academia, and presents the latest thinking on successful individual, organizational and educational initiatives related to women in STEM. The authors hope the book will be an invaluable resource for scholars, practitioners and policy-makers in organizations and government, as well as for women aspiring to or presently working in STEM fields.
