Interview with Judy Temple (English) discusses Women in Science program.

Subject

Women's studies; Universities and colleges

Description

Judy Temple, University of Arizona English department, discusses being able to teach 'Women in Science' and the rewards of teaching that course with a co-professor. She mentions a male student who questioned everything; he was their thorn in the side. The Dean of Science eventually came and proudly announced they hired three men and three women; yet students quickly pointed out the men had higher pay because they were in the 'hard science'. Their inquisitive student then mathematically proved the difference in the salaries would be $500,000 over time. As the Head of Women's Studies, she was able to promote women in the sciences. She shares a story of wanting to be veterinarian but being discouraged, only to later help a young female student take that career path.
