UWS SHOWS WORK OF DOROTHÉE PULLINGER AT STEM EVENT

Press/Media: Public Engagement Activities

Description

University of the West of Scotland (UWS) is celebrating the work of pioneering female engineer, Dorothée Pullinger, at an upcoming science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) event held at the University’s Paisley campus.

The event forms part of a research initiative led by Professor Katarzyna Kosmala and Dr Evi Viza, academics from UWS’ Schools of Media, Culture and Society and Computing, Engineering and Physical Science.

Families will learn about the ground-breaking work of Dorothée Pullinger, who designed a car for women, built by women engineers. Dorothée, who trained as an apprentice in Paisley before the First World War, has made a lasting impact in the engineering industry across the world and her story will be celebrated at the event through film and song. Attendees will also be invited to take part in a vote to have a plaque designed and displayed at the campus in order to honour her work and her connection to Paisley
