Accolades: Don Ellis, Elizabeth Ivey
Posted 11/29/2005
Professor Don Ellis of the School of Communication, College of Arts & Sciences, has lectured recently at the University of Pennsylvania, University of Connecticut, and University of Massachusetts. He has been reporting on the results of his work on democracy, communication, and conflict resolution that he developed while he was a Fulbright Scholar in Israel last year.
Provost Emerita Elizabeth S. Ivey recently served as a member of the Blue Ribbon Panel that selected the 2006 inductees into the Inventors Hall of Fame. The nine members of the panel met in Cleveland on Nov. 8 to discuss the nominees and make their selections. The winners will be announced on Thomas Edison's birthday in February. The Inventors Hall of Fame is located in Akron, Ohio.
Ivey, who is president of the Association for Women in Science, was quoted extensively in the Nov. 7 issue of The Scientist, a magazine published by the scientific honor society Sigma Xi. Ivey was interviewed for an article titled “Women on the Rise,” which looked at why relatively few women scientists hold tenured professorships and leadership positions at colleges and universities.
Ivey said that there are many strong female candidates for such positions. While many institutions have developed plans to increase the diversity of their faculty, there has been little accountability, she said. "Plans have been required in a number of institutions, but there's generally no negative consequence for not meeting the goals."
In addition, it's important to educate women about what they can do to get ahead, such as publishing earlier and more often, Ivey said. "Women researchers don't tend to publish their results until they're very near the end of their project, whereas male researchers will publish intermediate results all along the way, so they build maybe three articles on a project where women tend to have only one," Ivey said. Women should also aim for publication in bigger journals, Ivey added. "They shouldn't feel that they'd better try a lesser journal first just to float the idea, because men don't do that. They go for broke."
