BELIEFS ABOUT BRILLIANCE UNDERMINE
THE CAREERS OF WOMEN AND MINORITIES
On the Relationship of Beliefs about "Innate Talent” to the Underrepresentation of Women and Minorities
A recent nation-wide study concludes that women and minorities are underrepresented in fields — from philosophy to mathematics — whose members believe that raw intellectual talent is required for success. Cultural stereotypes often portray women and minorities as less likely to possess such talent. Join the Women’s Leadership Council for a discussion of the research and concrete steps that could be undertaken to increase gender and racial diversity.
