In the seminar so far, I have dealt with scholarships which are unfamiliar and written with a different perspective. It is helping me develop an understanding of the nature of data I use in my own research and how certain biases and prejudices are inbuilt in the date which I am oblivious about. I often […]

The World’s Women 2015: Trends and Statistics by the United Nations Statistics Division which is an annual publication. It presented data on aspects like […]

When I initially began this research, I wanted to look at post-graduation placement of women who acquired a doctorate degree in a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (collectively known as STEM). Unfortunately, the data contained within the Woodrow Wilson Center’s portal was insufficient to answer this question. As a result, I broadened my research to […]

The dimension of gender inequality I was most interested in was the representation of women in the field of software engineering. This is a particularly important area for me, as I studied computer science in college and worked as a software engineer at an education software company during my third year. When I was hired, […]

In terms of evaluating women’s presence in that domain, presence in the civil service, the attainment of university degrees, and presence in the […]
The dimension I chose for gender inequality was advanced degrees awarded at the PhD level. I wanted to learn what the disparity between males and females were for awarded advanced degrees, how this compared to undergraduate degrees, and which countries had the most equal rates of degrees awarded by gender. The most important indicator for […]
