SERVICE

2005-present Center for Slavic, Eurasian, and East European Studies. Advisory Board Member. 2009-10 Sexuality Studies. Advisory Board Member. 2009, 2011 UNC NSF-ADVANCE Institutional Transformation grant preparation, writing and submission 2001-present Director of Women in Science Program. Sponsored by the Carolina Seminars. Tomášková, S. cv, 6

As a director of the program I coordinate regular discussion meetings of women faculty and graduate students from the science departments. I monitor major newspapers and scholarly publications for readings relevant to issues of women and minorities in the sciences, and lead discussions of chosen readings. In addition I coordinate discussions on our on-line listserv.

In cooperation with the science units and the dean’s office, I participate in planning, organizing, and coordinating activities surrounding our annual speaker series “Distinguished women in science”. The series bridges the humanities and the sciences and features prominent, internationally recognized women scientists or science writers. Each speaker presents a public lecture open to the community, attends a lunch with faculty and graduate students, and participates in my Gender and Science or Women in Science undergraduate class.
