Dr Devran G眉lel, Research Fellow in the School of Organisations, Systems and People, presented her research into gender equality at the House of Lords last week at a special event on gender gaps in employment and enterprise.
The event, a collaboration between and the EU-funded RE-WIRING Project, of which Dr G眉lel is a part of, gave guests the opportunity to network while simultaneously offering an incredibly engaging workshop, which explored a number of issues such as:
鈥 Women鈥檚 representation in the workplace
鈥 Persistent gender gaps in leadership positions
鈥 Innovative and practical solutions to eliminate gender gaps
鈥 Strategies to 're-wire' institutions rather than 'fixing women'
鈥 Personal experiences of participants navigating workplace biases
Events like these are crucial for raising awareness, fostering dialogue, and developing actionable strategies to advance gender equality in leadership. I look forward to continuing my research and advocacy efforts to dismantle systemic barriers, and create more inclusive workplaces where women can thrive and reach their full potential.
