Speaker Bio:

Kimberlee Shauman is Professor of Sociology at the University of California, Davis. Her research focuses on gender stratification in education and employment and is characterized by theoretically targeted application of quantitative methods to large datasets. She has studied the underrepresentation of women in science and engineering, gender inequality in postsecondary education and in employment

outcomes among recent graduates, and gender differences in the career causes and consequences of family migration. Her book, Women in Science: Career Processes and Outcomes (Harvard University Press), examines the underrepresentation of women in science from a life course perspective – from middle school through the career years. Her current projects investigate the effects of gender and race – ethnicity

in the recruitment of STEM faculty, and the influence of course-level characteristics, including student sex ratio and instructor gender, on gender inequality in postsecondary education.
