gender in organizations TOMORROW

[David Seljak]

REMINDER. Tomorrow: Wed. March, 30th, 4:00-6:00 pm.

Lecture: From fixing the women to liberating the men.
Dr. Jennifer Berdahl, Sauder School of Business at the University of British Columbia

STJ 3014, St. Jerome's Classroom and Administration Building

See Dr. Berdahl's discussion of gender equity in the tech industry in the New York Times:

She writes:
"Gender bias should be recognized as a form of incompetence<http://jberdahl.blogspot.ca/2014/09/bias-as-incompetence.html> in the workplace: the inability to work with and respect women, or to recognize merit and promising ideas independent of their style or source, are social and intellectual handicaps. Rather than a masculine culture that stigmatizes femininity, tech needs a competence culture that stigmatizes misogyny and trains people to recognize and combat it."
