Description

This presentation, given by Leif Jensen of Penn State, highlights the continuing trends related to feminization of agriculture, the importance of intersectionally considering gender in research design (including when valuing women's care work), and some challenges that female-gendered scientists face. The presentation closes with an activity asking participants to consider gender in their own projects.

This was presented as part of a workshop during the Horticulture Innovation Lab's 2017 annual meeting.
