Meeting slides and notes

• November 6, 2023

  • No slides, meeting primarily about sharing progress, asking clarifications doing follow-up discussions, and sharing thoughts based on answering the following questions:

    • What were you broad impressions of the claims you have gathered?
    • Were there surprising research directions or research opportunities?
    • What did your workflow look like?
    • What were the snags you have encountered?
    • Were you able to fix these snags?
    • How was your experience with the whole workflow?
    • Did you start thinking about processing the outputs from the workflow?

  • Some resources similar to what we are building:

    • Gendered Innovations from Stanford
    • Gender Action Portal from Harvard

  • Current state of the resources for the introductory chapter: Wiki

  • Some proposals discussed and others to consider:

    • Organizing session for the upcoming Joint Statistical Meetings

    • Different ways to establish shorthand to facilitate communication and collaboration (may need to decide at some point)

      • Tagging, e.g. topic or thematic view, chapter view
      • Numbering claims, e.g. Person A wants to work on Claim 155. Having this language should help with narrowing searches and to make sure people are talking about the same thing.

    • More discussion on the concpet of gender, program evaluation in light of the fact that gender has little to no variation over time

    • Earlier heads-up on agenda for future meetings

• October 2, 2023 Kickoff slides
