 Gender Stereotypes Won't Affect My Vote! Really?
By
Dr. Hilary Lips, Emerita Professor and Research Faculty Member, Department of Psychology.
This part of the presentation will focus on the impact of implicit gender stereotypes on
judgments about the
candidates, including the proscriptions against assertive leadership, ambition, and self-promotion for women
and the “relaxed proscriptions” against “locker room banter,” for men. How do these differing expectations
and rules for women and men play out in our reactions to the candidates and in women’s and men’s access to
leadership in general?

 She’s got the look—of a President?
By
Dr.Theresa Schroeder:
Assistant Professor, Department of Political Science
In its 227 year history, the U.S. has never had a female president. Why is that? This talk will discuss how
socialization and stereotypes influence women making the decision to enter politics. How we raise our children
and what we encourage them to do and become has major implications for women in politics.

Gender Differences in Politics:
How Individual Efficacy Levels May Influence Political Engagement
By
Mrs. Kristina Contreras, Master's Candidate in Corporate and Professional Communication
In this discussion we will examine how political information efficacy, or an individual’s confidence levels in their political knowledge, may
provide insight to why some people become more or less engaged in the political process. Specifically, we will discuss the differences between
males' and females’ political information efficacy and how it relates to political cynicism, political socialization, and social capital. In this
