The SIGIR'19 Women in IR session, co-organized by Nazli Goharian and Suzan Verberne, took place on July 23 and was attended by well over 200 participants. After giving attribute to Laura Dietz, one of the co-founders who had initiated the Women in IR session in 2014 and organized it annually, the session started with a keynote by Mounia Lalmas sharing her experiences on the path she took towards learning, confronting challenges, and professional advancements. Next we had a panel comprised of panelists from both academia and industry discussing gender inequality.
