It has had a huge impact on Universities across the globe and academics have had to grapple with new ways of teaching, researching, engaging and connecting while working from home. Early indications are that female academics are grappling with an impact that is significant and differential. This reinforces the importance of relative to opportunity statements and consideration especially when thinking about and preparing a case for promotion now or in the future. Marnie is firmly committed to gender equity and she sees in it the opportunity to support women through their different life journeys. This fireside chat will provide an opportunity to hear from Marnie about her reflections and to ask her questions. REGISTER HERE Need help registering?
