SUMMARY:"Gender in Math\, Science\, and Beyond" Talk\, Texas Christian University
DESCRIPTION:from the event website: \nDr. Eugenia Cheng will visit TCU April 2 & 3 as Green Honors Chair \n\nDr. Eugenia Cheng\, Scientist in Residence at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago\, will be visiting the TCU Department of Mathematics as a Green Honors Chair. Dr. Cheng has a Ph.D. from the Cambridge University. She is a mathematician\, educator\, author\, public speaker\, columnist\, concert pianist\, composer\, and artist who has been interviewed on NPR\, BBC\, and “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” She will be giving the following lectures: \n\n\nThursday\, April 3rd\, 4:00-5:00pm  Sid Richardson Hall\, Lecture Hall 1\,  2955 South University Drive\, Fort Worth\, TX 76109\nGender in Math\, Science and Beyond \nThe question of why women and minorities are under-represented in mathematics is complex and there are no simple answers\, only many contributing factors. I will focus on character traits\, and argue that if we focus on this rather than gender we can have a more productive and less divisive conversation. To try and focus on characters rather than genders I will introduce gender-neutral character adjectives “ingressive” and “congressive” as a new dimension to shift our focus away from masculine and feminine. I will share my experience of teaching congressive abstract mathematics to art students\, in a congressive way\, and the possible benefits this could have for everyone in mathematics\, not just women.
