Ep. 9 - Chess Can Learn from Science ft. Dr. Cassidy R Sugimoto

This week in The Chess Lounge, Dr. Cassidy R Sugimoto introduces her book, Equity for Women in Science and discusses how these lessons can apply to the chess world. She relates the shocking information that many disciplines in sciences have not reached gender parity which means that we are still far away from equity for women in science. Elaynah and Dylan look for lessons on how to apply this important work to the gender imbalance in the chess world. This fascinating conversation has many lessons to learn from history, funding, institutional changes needed, whether women's titles are useful, and many more topics.
