Check out today's article on A/Prof Zsuzsanna Dancso's amazing interventions to reverse the decline of women in advanced maths courses: www.smh.com.au/politics/nsw...
When Emily walked into maths class at uni, there were only three women. Then something changed
Before 2020, female enrolments in advanced mathematics at the University of Sydney were in decline. But an intervention transformed everything.
