🎉students studying AI and culture🎉 if you had an audience with senior folks from computer science, social science, and the humanities studying AI and culture, what questions would you ask them about the field, careers, skill sets, etc? students only! forms.gle/tZY5tJW2gqVd...

Despite media representations to the contrary, "women remain underrepresented among faculty in nearly all academic fields...A large-scale survey of the same faculty indicates that the reasons faculty leave are gendered, even for institutions, fields, and career ages in which retention rates are not"
