The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the heavy burden women bear in their multiple roles; yet awareness of these 'invisible jobs' continues to lag. This has driven further gender inequalities in the workplace, with long term implications in women's careers and livelihoods. Studies have shown that the pandemic has a disproportionately negative impact on women working in academia as well when compared to their male counterparts.
Join us for a timely hour of talks and a panel discussion with our three distinguished speakers to explore these issues. Our speakers share their experiences, their research, and their plans, and hopes for the future to achieve equity in academia.
The mission of Women in Science and Healthcare (WISH) and Equal Opportunities & Career Development (EOCD) is to create an environment and shape a culture that advances gender equality.
