She has been involved in gender equality and workplace relations for nearly thirty years, both as an academic and a public servant. The talk is entitled The Gender pay Gap – Can we Engineer Solutions? and she will discuss what research and statistics on equal pay tells us, what are the causes and what are the strategies that can be employed to overcome these issues.
