Endorsing the Pasadena Recommendations for Gender Equality in Astronomy
|
The Pasadena Recommendations were unanimously endorsed by the
American Astronomical Society (AAS) Council on Sunday January 9, 2005,
in San Diego, CA. This work was a collaborative effort made by many
attendees of the "Women
in Astronomy II: Ten Years After" meeting held in June 2003 in
Pasadena with input and comments from the entire astronomical
community. This document was presented to the members of the AAS Council
by the 2003-2005 committee members of the AAS Committee on the Status of
Women in Astronomy. Further information on implementing these
recommendations may be found on our website: http://www.aas.org/~cswa.
We would like endorsing institutions to do the following:
- Discuss the Pasadena Recommendations within their department
- Post them prominently within their department.
- Make your university administration aware of the recommendations.
- Endorse the principles of the Pasadena Recommendations by contacting us.
For the moment, please email the CSWA Webmaster, whose
contact information can be found here. We will then place your institution amongst
the list below. If you have any questions regarding the endorsement, please email Dr. Geoffrey Clayton, whose contact information can
be found here.
