Women Also Know

In addition to my academic research, I have worked on the founding teams of both Women Also Know Law and Women Also Know History. Both initiatives promote and support the work of women experts in their respective fields by offering a concrete way to address explicit and implicit gender bias in public and professional perceptions of expertise.
