海角社区

海角社区 Women in Leadership (MWIL), Deautels Women in Business (DWIB), TEDxMontreal Women, the National Women in Business Conference, the Intercollegiate Business Convention. Evidently, as the non-exhaustive list above demonstrates, there are many occasions for women at 海角社区 to thrive and shine in the area of leadership, where they are chronically and critically underrepresented. Within Bronfman, and 海角社区 as a whole, women apply to volunteer, speak, participate, and join a host of clubs and initiatives highlighting female leaders. This just serves to show that, here at 海角社区, go-getters surround us, and females are no exception.
Curiously enough, in the past four years, the number of women on the MUS Executive Council has steadily decreased. This shift has culminated in this year鈥檚 council where there are absolutely no women leading our undergraduate society. That means, in a faculty where 51.2 percent of its 2,344 students are female, there鈥檚 not a single woman to 鈥渁ct as the primary contact point for all members of the MUS,鈥� as per the聽the Society鈥檚 Constitution.

In an attempt to uncover the processes that ostensibly inhibit the full participation of women in the modern workforce, Patricia Hewlin, one of the panelists and a professor in the faculty's Organizational Behaviour department, bodly stated that "young women pull themselves back from opportunities" before their careers have even started. She then went on to clarify that women are socially conditioned to restrict themselves from pursuing certain career oppotunities, as tehy are constantly "thinking about the impact [of their decisions] on their potential family."
...聽This thought was later echoed by another professor, Brian Rubineau, who pointed out studies which have demonstrated that 鈥渨omen disproportionately self-select鈥� themselves as being ill-suited for work in certain fields solely on the basis of gendered preconceptions. This 鈥渟elf-selection鈥�, according to Rubineau, is principally the result of both implicit and explicit messages in media, as well as in the social circles of many female young professionals.
