October Presentation

Gender inequities are vast and are often embedded within organizational structures, processes, and practices. This talk will cover power-based inequities within the workplace, and how those inequities are a microcosm of a larger inequitable society. Specifically, harassment and wage inequality will be explored as that which promotes incivility, aggression, discrimination, and a hostile work environment as opposed to one that is ethically caring, supportive, and transformative. Steps to transform these inequities and foster an ethical climate will be provided.

Presented by Dr. Nicole Carter
