Our Women in Science evening strives to empower the community and promote an equitable and inclusive learning environment. At BCCHR, we understand that an intersectional lens is needed when discussing women’s experiences in science as ‘woman’ is not a universal experience that transcends other components of identity. It is a broad experience that includes those socialized as women who identify as women, those socialized as women who do not identify as women, and those who were not socialized as women but identify as women. Additionally, that experience is further made unique depending on race and/or ethnicity, class, religion, sexual and/or romantic identity, disability, etc.
