School of Journalism professor Chris Ogan and doctoral student Debbie Goh are among the presenters at this weekend’s workshop, Toward Gender Equitable Outcomes in IT Higher Education, at the Indiana Memorial Union.
The conference will provide a venue for researchers to present their findings in this three-year study of women in information technology programs at institutions of higher learning. Funded in part by a National Science Foundation grant, the researchers looked at degree-granting institutions across the U.S. to determine which are most successful at recruiting and retaining female students in IT disciplines and why.
Universities may use findings to enhance programming to attract more women in to IT programs.
IU’s Ogan, Jean C. Robinson from political science and Susan Herring from library and information science joined Manju Ahuja from the University of Louisville as principal investigators. Goh was one of three project assistants.
