Combating Masculine Defaults in the STEM sector
Yuval Engel is part of a 3-year European research project called 'Combating Masculine Defaults in the STEM Sector'. The project develops practical solutions for STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) workplaces. Its goal is to identify and address 'masculine defaults’. These are aspects of organizational culture and practices that value, reward, or regard as standard, normal, neutral, or necessary characteristics or behaviors associated with the male gender role.
