An Insight – Women in Science

An online film screening and discussion of the documentary “An Insight – Women in Science” (2019) by Agnes Handwerk and Harrie Willems.

The initiative “Young Women in the Theoretical Sciences” at the Bielefeld University is organizing an online film screening and discussion of the documentary “An Insight – Women in Science” (2019) by Agnes Handwerk and Harrie Willems.

The event will take place on Wednesday, October 21, 2020, 17:00 – 19:00 CEST (16:00 – 18:00 UK time), via the platforms Zoom and Panopto. To take part, please send an e-mail to youngwomen@math.uni-bielefeld.de.

The first part of the film portrays three professors of mathematics: Professor Karin Baur (School of Mathematics, University of Leeds), Professor Sylvie Paycha (University of Potsdam) and Professor Carola-Bibiane Schönlieb (University of Cambridge), who give an insight into their experiences in an academic career and their efforts for gender equality. In a second part, we get to know the organizers of the “I, Scientist Conference” in Berlin 2018, who share their experiences from the perspective of female early career researchers. Film duration: 40min.

In the subsequent online discussion, you will have the opportunity to talk to Professor Karin Baur and the film maker Agnes Handwerk, as well as to get to know the other participants of the event.

If you have further questions, please write to youngwomen@math.uni-bielefeld.de or visit their website.

The event is supported by the CRC 1283, University Bielefeld.
