Women Scientists - Chatting with researchers from CSG - Research in Social Sciences and Management

On March 8 took place at ISEG the session "Women Scientists: CSG Science-Coffee - Chatting with researchers from CSG - Research in Social Sciences & Management of ISEG". The Science-Coffee was opened by Professor Sara Falcão Casaca, Coordinator of CSG - Consortium for Research in Social Sciences & Management of ISEG, followed by the President of ISEG, Professor João Duque, who addressed the issues of parity at work, particularly at ISEG. The session's guests were the researchers Jessica Falconi (CESA/CSG), Sofia Bento (SOCIUS/CSG), Leonor Freire Costa (GHES/CSG), Reihaneh Hajishirz (ADVANCE/CSG), and Maria João Guedes (ADVANCE/CSG). The conversation was moderated by the journalist Nicolau Santos (Director of RTP and ISEG alumni) and revolved around the role of women at work, in the family and in society, in which the guests shared their experiences. The research project "Power - Portuguese Observatory for women's equality", recently started under the coordination of the researcher Maria João Guedes, was also mentioned. The closing moment counted with the participation of the Vice-Rector of the Universidade de Lisboa, Cecília Rodrigues, who referred, among several statistical data, the fact that Portugal has one of the highest qualification rates regarding women in Europe. At the end, the Vice-President of ISEG, Joana Pais told us about her professional experience, highlighting the fact that she was not discriminated.
