Mary Frank FoxMary Frank Fox received the Gender Equity Champion Award at the 2016 Diversity Symposium Awards Luncheon, and reflected on the path of her research and the evolution of gender in studies of science. Fox’s research focuses on gender, science, and academia — the study of women and men in academic and scientific organizations and occupations — with significant implications for science and technology policy. “The Gender Equity Champion Award embodies values that are close to my heart — equitable conditions that benefit all,” said Fox.
An ADVANCE Professor in Georgia Tech’s Ivan Allen College School of Public Policy, Fox has long been interested in how women and men participate and perform in scientific fields, as well as organizational practices and policies that support equity. A pioneer in the study of gender in science, Fox’s publications have appeared in more than 60 different scholarly and scientific journals, books, and collections. At Georgia Tech, the ADVANCE Program, an initiative supported by Institute Diversity, seeks to increase the representation, full participation, and advancement of women and minorities in academic careers.
