First hour: Discussing the diversity advantage
Second hour: Attorney Melanie Wolk on the impact of the #MeToo movement in the workplace
The Gandhi Institute is preparing to host a program about the "diversity advantage" — how society benefits when inclusion transforms into full equality. Our guests discuss the issue from different perspectives. In studio:
- Mary Adelaide Scipioni, landscape architect, writer and critic, and owner of Pebble-stream
- Tanya Bakhmetyeva, associate professor of gender, sexuality, and women's studies at the University of Rochester; and associate academic director for the Susan B. Anthony Institute for Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies
- Mara Ahmed, political activist, artist and writer, and independent filmmaker at Neelum Films
Then in our second hour, we continue our series of conversations about how workplaces are changing as a result of the #MeToo movement. Attorney Melanie Wolk says the types of assignments men and women are given could change because of #MeToo. She joins us to talk about the potential impacts.
