The IU HPS&\;M Women&rsquo\;s Leadership Conference is a one-day conference designed to bring female scholars from philosophy\, history\, and sociology of science and medicine together to discuss and further develop their research. The conference will be built upon three pillars: research presentation\, networking\, and leadership empowerment. \; This conference will be an opportunity for female graduate students in underrepresented fields to present their work and engage with IU faculty\, alumni\, and fellow students to improve and advance their research in a growing interdisciplinary field.
\nThe conference will include roundtable discussions with emerging and eminent female scholars\, individual presentations by post-doctoral and graduate students\, and poster sessions which will highlight the work of both graduate and undergraduate students.
\nConference Time &\; Place: October- 26\, 2019\, on the Indiana University campus in Bloomington.
