Breaking Bias: Why Many Gender/Sex Differences are Really Power Differences (PPIL) image

Gender disparities continue to pervade almost all aspects of society. In the United States, fewer women than men hold elected office, women continue to earn 16% less than men on average and hold fewer CEO positions, and women control less than 1% of executive-held equity. In this workshop, Professor Adam Galinsky will guide students in a discussion on how differences between genders can partially be explained by the existing differences in power, and what this means for business leaders. The workshop will provide a novel way to think about the complex relationship between gender and power differences, offering critical insights into how we can narrow societal gender gaps
