Gender equity in STEM - Francesca Maclean and Emily Gentilini

Ever felt like you don’t belong? Welcome to the club – only this one helps everyone find their place. Workshops, mentoring programs, industry partnerships and cultural audits have changed the ANU College of Engineering and Computer Science for the better, for all genders. Fifty50, the student organisation behind the changes, was founded by Francesca Maclean and Emily Gentilini. Outlining the social justice case for diversity, our guests question how engineers can lift their game, and continue the process of making STEM more inclusive for all students. Francesca Maclean is a Senior Consultant at Arup, public speaker and co-founder of Fifty50. Emily Gentilini is a Graduate Engineer at Arup. A regular presenter, she co-founded the student organisation Fifty50 at ANU.
