species which have sexual reproduction, are there usually only 'males'
and 'females'?" We present a nonlinear optimization model that supports
the conclusion that having at most two sexes maximizes long run

someone, friend or stranger. The very first thing you say reveals
whether they are a man or a woman. Gender affects how we perceive
everyone around us and how we express ourselves, often in ways we don't
realize. Why is technology dominated by men? Why are women so often
caregivers? This seminar will use ideas from psychology and education
research to investigate how we perceive and respond to gender. It will
give you some tools to understand how you think about gender, along with
information that puts that in greater social context. Please bring
something to write on, something to write with, and a willingness to
engage your brain.<br>

Chachra is an Associate Professor of Materials Science at the Franklin
W. Olin College of Engineering, where she was one of the founding
faculty. Prof. Chachra's research interests are twofold. She researches
the engineering student experience, including persistence and migration,
differences by gender, and the role of self-efficacy in project-based
learning. As well as her work in education, she studies biological
materials, currently focusing on a polyester-silk composite synthesized
by bees. She also consults, facilitates workshops, and speaks widely on
topics including curricular design for engineering education, and on
gender, diversity and the engineering student experience.<br>
