Women in Actuarial Science

Women are playing an increasingly prominent role in the actuarial education and research community. Nonetheless, female scholars face more challenges than their male counterparts, which have become more evident in the midst of a pandemic. Featuring a host of accomplished and rising women researchers at different stages of their career, this dialogue session offers an opportunity to hear their stories and learn about how they rise to challenges with strong vision and leadership.
