Women are underrepresented globally in science
The Institute of Human Origins (IHO) has long supported an increased opportunity for women in paleoanthropology, so we are delighted to announce a new endowment that will advance and inspire young women’s participation in science.
The Kaye Reed Scholarship Endowment will support undergraduate and graduate student research and contribute to a shift towards the gender equity needed in the research community.
The Institute of Human Origins produced a printed newsletter from 1980 to 2009 with research, news, and schedule of upcoming events and trips.View the past archive of IHO newsletters below.
The Institute of Human Origins is a research unit of The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Graduate students who wish to work with our research faculty will need to apply to the School of Human Evolution and Social Change. More information about the graduate program and application process can be found here.
Creating a Legacy of Research
Since its first PhD graduate in 2002, affiliated faculty of the Institute of Human Origins (IHO) have mentored 42 PhD graduates—27 of them women, including IHO’s second PhD graduate, Elizabeth H. Harmon, in 2005.
