'A 探花视频 Conversation' will take place at 14.00 on 8 March 2016 and will be hosted in the Rolle Building Marquee on the University campus. The conversation will draw on the professional journeys of the panellists to explore gender parity and how this impacts upon women鈥檚 careers. The speakers will share insights from their own careers and will answer questions from the audience drawing on their own experiences.
The event is open to professional women and men from across the city who share an interest in exploring how gender parity can be improved. Event attendees will also be invited to engage in understanding how unconscious bias plays a role in our day-to-day lives, and share ideas for actions which can be taken to improve the development and progression of the careers of current and future generations.
Vikki Matthews, Chair of 探花视频 University鈥檚 Equality and Diversity Committee said:
鈥淭he University is delighted to host this event. Gender parity is not about one gender pitched against the other; it is about ensuring a level playing field in our careers, regardless of gender. It will be interesting to hear contributors鈥 experiences in what will be, I鈥檓 sure, a stimulating discussion.鈥
