Tasha Iglesias, Ed.D., mentors students researching gender equity in the Utah arts in collaboration with the Center for Intersectional Gender Studies and Research (CIGSR) and the Utah Women’s Leadership Project Arts and Music Impact team. Together with her mentees, Dr. Iglesias seeks to deepen understanding of gender equity in the Utah arts. Explaining the need for her research, she stated, “Women in all fields of music and art often experience barriers to access, are underrepresented in leadership positions, and are often underrepresented in galleries, exhibits, and music venues… Research on this topic is incredibly limited.” Dr. Iglesias speaks highly of her experience mentoring her current undergraduate research, saying, “My co-researcher and student is an incredible asset to this study… Through this process, we are both learning more about women and girls in Utah and how we can apply what we have learned to help others, and this process has also provided an opportunity for me to both learn from and with my amazing student. I am grateful for the opportunity to conduct this study together – I am the lucky one!”
