Université Paris-Saclay's women in mathematics against stereotypes
Just Do Maths ! is a portrait exhibition featuring female research mathematicians and educators from Université Paris-Saclay. Addressing diverse audiences, including students, researchers, educators, and the general public, its purpose is to break down gender stereotypes still prevalent in science and mathematics.
Conceived as a traveling exhibition, Just Do Maths ! will be displayed on different campuses of our Université (Moulon, Bures-sur-Yvette, Orsay, Versailles et Evry). At each venue, the exhibition will be inaugurated with a specific event, such as a debate, conference, or workshop, highlighting gender issues in mathematics. For gender statistics, you may check the OECD Education at a Glance Report, p. 233.
Drawing on comprehensive scientific portraits published on the University’s website, the exhibition showcases female mathematicians working at our University. By integrating photos, illustrations, texts, and quotes into freestanding panels, the exhibition provides insight into their experiences as Women in Mathematics.
On its own scale, the Graduate School of Mathematics, which initiated this project, wishes to :
- raise awareness of the issue of gender inequality
- break stereotypes that are often widespread in the sciences - and in mathematics in particular
- encourage female students to pursue their studies in the sciences.
"Filles en mathématique : quelles questions ? quelles réponses ?" by Mélanie Guenais
On Tuesday March 5, 2024, Mélanie Guenais, lecturer in mathematics at Université Paris-Saclay, vice-president of the Société Mathématique de France (SMF) and coordinator of the Collectif Maths&Sciences, hosted a meeting to mark the inauguration of Just Do Maths! at LUMEN.
After presenting statistics on parity in mathematics in high school and higher education, Mélanie Guenais spoke to over 100 students, high school teachers and teacher-researchers about the obstacles to choosing science, the impact of previous high school reforms, the social norms that influence these choices, and the actions that need to be taken to achieve greater parity.
