The fourth in the 2013 Gender Institute Seminar Series, Women in Academia, will be presented by Dr Dirk Van Rooy, Lecturer, Research School of Psychology, ANU.

Dr. Van Rooy’s research focuses on the analysis of social psychological processes through the means of advanced quantitative analysis and computer simulations.

I will discuss the results of on-going research project, in collaboration with the Diversity and Workforce Planning Branch, that examines the attitudes and aspirations of female Early Career Researchers (fECR’s) at the Australian National University (ANU). Using a combination of quantitative survey measures, social network and automated text analysis, the research provides an unique insight into the social, cognitive and emotional processes from which multiple, sometimes conflicting identities and attitudes emerge. The impact of the current findings on theories of identity and organizational change management are discussed.
