Circles of Mentoring: Pathways to Professional and Personal Growth

Recognizing the challenges facing women in the sciences worldwide, this workshop introduces a model of mentoring called "Three Circles of Alemat,” in order to engage women with social networks that strengthen their positions as academic professors in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This workshop is interactive, with a mix of theory and hands-on exercises to explore the benefits of being a mentor and mentee. Attendees will be part of creating a new generation of women scholars and promoting multidisciplinary and multicultural research that combines ecological, agricultural, social, and behavioral sciences related to women and sustainability.
