Professor Ruby Mendenhall to Keynote Women in HPC Workshop at SC18
Dr. Ruby Mendenhall, Associate Professor of Sociology, African American Studies, Urban and Regional Planning, Gender and Women’s Studies, and Social Work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, will be the keynote speaker at the Women in HPC Workshop on Sunday, 11 November. Professor Mendenhall will share her work on using big data to ensure Black women’s history takes its rightful space in the digital archives, what attracted her to use HPC in her research, and her future research plans involving HPC.

The Vicious Cycle of Underrepresentation
A major factor in the retention of female doctoral students in STEM is the number of other women entering their program at the same time, according to research from the Ohio State University. In the worst-case scenario, where there’s only one woman in a new class, she is 12% less likely to graduate within six years compared to her male classmates. Adding more female classmates improves graduation rates. The findings suggest that the graduate school experience may play a key role in the gender gap in STEM fields.
