Overview
What you will study
There have only been, for example, four female Nobel laureates in physics to date. ‘Women in Astronomy’ traces the strategies that women have used to thrive in what have been hostile working environments.
From the poetry of Rebecca Elson to the music of Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin, the Women in Astronomy course offered by University of Oxford aims to inspire by showing how cultivating 'a responsibility to awe' can lead to the development of life-changing passions and skills. The day will also feature a present-day astronomer who will share her current research and life's journey.
