IncludeHer

Increasing the visibility of women’s contributions to STEM

IncludeHer is a movement founded by Dr Kat Ross and calls for increased representation of women and gender minorities in our Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education.

We seek to bring a diverse representation of scientists and role models into classrooms to inspire students to believe they can pursue careers in STEM and be leaders in the field.

145 scientists. 1 female scientist.

These are some sobering statistics found in our study of the senior science curricula across Australia.

Where are the women? High school STEM curriculum pushes ‘lone male genius’ narrativeA study of curriculums for year 11 and 12 science subjects found only three states mention the work of a female scientist – and she was from Britain.

Australian syllabuses fail to mention female contribution to STEMTrusted and independent source of local, national and world news. In-depth analysis, business, sport, weather and more.

Only one female scientist is mentioned in Australian high school science curriculaAustralian high school science courses are failing to mention the contributions of women in science subjects, according to new research.
