Gender is a variable that has dramatic impact on power dynamics and communication patterns. In recent years, the growing body of rigorous research, in combination with less formal studies and popular surveys on gender issues, has built a compelling case for acknowledging the pervasive and damaging nature of gender bias in academic and business settings. A great need remains to build and maintain the infrastructure that will make gender equity both attainable and sustainable. The Center for Gender Equity has taken the lead in facilitating this process at UCSF, providing the knowledge base and staff support to move forward with this challenging work.
Through a variety of approaches, including individual, small and large group, and policy-oriented efforts, CGE helps to increase the visibility of and response to the importance of gender balance in creating equal access, expanded opportunities and meaningful teaching, working and learning partnerships for the students, faculty, postdoctoral fellows and the broader community we serve.
