WISEGuys

WISEguys is a group looking to engage men in allyship with and advocacy for women in STEM. Reaching gender parity in the professional world requires the participation of all genders, and intervention at the individual and organizational levels. WISEguys aims to recruit male graduate students in this cause through events and resources centered on education, conversation, and action in cooperation with GWISE. We also aim to involve more men in the GWISE community, as GWISE events and volunteer opportunities are open to all who support women in STEM.

We have a WISEguys listserv that emails newsletters with GWISE and WISEguys events and opportunities. You can subscribe by emailing your request at gwise@bu.edu

If you would like to be involved with WISEguys, have thoughts on advocacy or dialogue-inspiring events that you would like to see, or have any questions, please email Daniel at danhart@bu.edu


Coffee & Conversations

GWISE Coffee & Conversations is a monthly informal journal club and discussion series, where we hope to provoke meaningful discussions about issues relevant to women in STEM. Each month, we select a topic of interest to the community and use a recent scientific or popular article as a launch point to facilitate a friendly and lively discussion over coffee, tea, and snacks. Past topics have included negotiation and implicit bias in mentoring.
