Keynote Lecture
Understanding the role of pervasive negative gender stereotypes: what can be done?
Rosalind C. Barnett (Brandeis University, USA)
 I believe that girl's disinterest and lack of confidence in their ability to succeed in math and science has its roots in their very early years. To a huge degree girl's disaffection is related to their own perception of their ability to suceed in math and science, not to their actual ability. ROSALIND BARNETT
