re: where are the women

[Frank Evans]

Greetings fellow dialists,
I'm just back from a society conference at the National Oceanographic 
Centre in Southampton. Women were all about and contributing. I checked 
and found that of the 21 officers and council members of the society 10 
were women, and all of them professional oceanographers. Maybe we 
dialists are in the wrong subject:-)

Hi Jackie,

I love your little portable sundials they look great. I have a passion for 
portable sundials as they don’t need winding just the sun.

A comment with regard to your website. The instructions are great but are not 
correct for Australia, here the sun is to the North. Have you sold any portable 
sundials for the southern hemisphere? 

Regards,

Roderick Wall.

As Sara points out, it is certainly false that there are no women actively 
engaged with sundials. But it is true that few women participate in the 
dialogues on our list. And it is also true that men are much more in evidence 
as active dialists (as opposed to long-suffeing spouses of dialists!) at the 
meetings of national societies that I have attended. It would be interesting to 
know, however, what percentages of the membership of various national sundial 
societies are women.  

Whatever the numbers I would certainly not draw any inferences from them about 
the procilivity of either sex for abstract thinking. But the results might get 
us thinking what we could do to encourage women to participate.

Do women members of the list have any thoughts on this?

Re: Where are the women?

I'm glad to discover there are so many women here, and specially for having
found Mrs. Schechner in the list.
A member sent her article about sundials, published in the Journal for the
History of Astronomy. I liked it very much.
And the text about the difficulties for women scientists is pretty
interesting.

Hi all,

And me;  I have posted a few comments on the site.   I am otherwise rather
busy being membership secretary of the British Sundial Society as well as
also making small silver dials –  www.silversundials.co.uk.   I also painted
a large dial on the front of our house; a task many people thought my
husband did. Don’t women climb scaffolding?

I think I am also correct that of the last 4 BSS sundial design

[Bruvold Anne]

I'm here too - just a bit on the "too busy" side to do much more than keeping 
an eye on what's going on in the list. I work in a small Science Centre and we 
are opening a new building with exhibitions soon. We are slowly expanding the 
staff and the latest addition in the staff also thinks we need a sundial on the 
roof of the new building :-) Sadly it can't be a 24 hour sundial as the old 
building will cast a shadow on the roof at night.

Re: Where are the women?

[Roger Bailey]

Why dwell on sex profiling? Why not age, education, IQ etc. I expect the scores 
for the sundial mailing list and sundial societies would be high in these 
categories as well. It doesn't matter as the list and the societies self 
select. If you are interested in sundials, join the group and participate. We 
all learn as much from the newby questions as the sage advice. Without this 
broad spectrum and diversity, we are just a bunch of old guys talking to 
ourselves. No Thanks! We should aspire to be three years old again, continuing 
to ask "why?" but now we can be rewarded by these discussions. We are no longer 
frustrated by the adult response "Just because, that is the way it is."

"Cogito ergo sum" has no other qualifiers.

Re: Where are the women?

[R Wall]

Hi Marcelo and all,

I use to teach a sundial short course here in Melbourne Australia. The students 
made a horizontal sundial using a slate floor tile. We used a sundial ruler to 
mark the hour lines etc. Using a sundial ruler means they didn’t have to know 
maths. There was one lady who had trouble because she couldn’t use a ruler. 
Going back 80 or more years not everyone went to school. But it was lovely to 
see all the other ladies helping her. She went home with her garden sundial. 
Another lady was going to make sundials to sell. After many years teaching, I 
also learnt something in that class.

Your comment “Where are the women”. Out of all the times I ran this class there 
was only ever one man.

I bet there would also be men who wouldn’t be able to use a ruler, but they 
weren't there.

Advertise a short course: “Make your own sundial for your garden” and see who 
rolls up.

My sundial short course was a 1 x 4 hour class that they paid for.

The NASS also published my article that uses the sundial ruler as a digital 
extra.

Maybe using sundial rulers would be good to introduce students to sundials.

Regard,

Roderick Wall.

Re: Where are the women?

[Len Berggren]

As Sara points out, it is certainly false that there are no women actively
engaged with sundials. But it is true that few women participate in the
dialogues on our list. And it is also true that men are much more in
evidence as active dialists (as opposed to long-suffeing spouses of
dialists!) at the meetings of national societies that I have attended. It
would be interesting to know, however, what percentages of the membership of
various national sundial societies are women.
Whatever the numbers I would certainly not draw any inferences from them
about the procilivity of either sex for abstract thinking. But the results
might get us thinking what we could do to encourage women to participate.
Do women members of the list have any thoughts on this?

RE: Where are the women?

[Schechner, Sara]

Hey, hey, I just wrote in to the list a day ago.  :)But I'll grant you that 
some of us are rather quiet online because we are too busy with other 
things-like cataloguing sundials in museums.

Subject: Where are the women?

I've just noticed that, as long as I remember, there is no female participation 
in this mailing list. As I study in the Astronomical and Geophysical Institute 
at the University of Sao Paulo, where we lack not of the gracious presence of 
women - there are more men here, but women are expressive too - I strange their 
absence from our astronomical inquiries and conversations. Maybe there is some 
truth in that old cliché of men being more prone to math and abstration than 
them?
