【 摘 要 】

Understanding the many complexities that define gender inequality has been described by researchers as a grand challenge (Joshi et al., 2015). Novel insights, innovation, a broader community to conduct research and to ascertain effective interventions are essential in the challenge to create organizations that are gender equal. As such, this research topic in Frontiers in Psychology addresses the underrepresentation of women in engineering and computing as a complex, but solvable problem. The special issue seeks to inform the global community about advances in understanding the underrepresentation of women in engineering and computing with a focus on what enables change. Further this issue promotes fresh perspectives, innovative methodologies, and mixed method approaches important to accelerating the pace of change.
