Episode description
Subhra Priyadarshini looks at the gender question in physics, a discipline traditionally known as a male bastion.
Sexism and patriarchy directly trigger inequities in science and research. These iniquities, based on gender, caste, age, or ability are increasingly being called out, questioned, and sometimes corrected in heartening and exemplary ways.
In this episode of the Nature India podcast, we are talking about a group of women physicists in India who call such gender-based iniquities into question and push for change in a discipline of science traditionally considered a male bastion. We also get insights into the eighth International Conference on Women in Physics, happening for the first time in India, in July 2023.
