"Blueprint" summarizes committee presentations from a workshop convened by the National Academies Committee on Women in Science, Engineering, and Medicine (CWSEM). The report summarizes work-to-date by a group of scholars and professionals examining the status of women in selected technical fields around the world. The report captures some of the evidentiary and epistemological challenges of collecting and analyzing data from many different countries and regions. Such challenges include cross-cultural differences, social/political/economic mechanisms impacting women's participation, and the inverse correlations between levels in the scientific and technical career hierarchy and the number of women in science.
Willie Pearson, professor in the School of History, Technology, and Society, has co-authored a National Academies conference report, "Blueprint for the Future: Framing the Issues of Women in Science in a Global Context."
