The ASA Women in Astronomy workshops conducted over the past two years have explored the important issues of unconscious biases and leadership development for women. The workshops have encouraged astronomy institutions in Australia to support and implement policies and systems to ensure that women can fully participate and excel in their academic careers and also help with their family and work-life balance.

The 2013 workshop will focus on “Pathways to Success” for women in academic and alternate careers and will further unpack issues that hold women back from progressing in their careers. This is an opportunity to have courageous conversations about gender and women’s leadership, and all are welcome (and encouraged!) to attend.
