Our social and legal perspectives about gender have changed a lot in the last 50 years.
- Does Gender still matter?
- Can we achieve Diversity without Discrimination?
- Is this a zero-sum game, or does eliminating gender bias help everyone?
- Is Gender Bias inherent, or is it simply institutional, and we just need to work harder at it?
- Who decides someone’s gender, and what limits are there on a change of gender?
These issues are not merely academic. They are problems and opportunities for businesses, both with respect to their own human resources and also with respect to market opportunities.
What are innovative companies doing about it? Are there business opportunities if gender that is not binary, and not even spectral? Where is the Central Coast in the national debate?
The MIT Enterprise Forum of the Central Coast has assembled a panel of local experts from academia and industry to discuss their perspectives on these important issues.
Join us on Wednesday, November 20 to learn and discuss more.
This program will be moderated by Central Coast MIT Enterprise Forum Vice-Chair, Steven Sereboff.
