Levelling the playing field: dynamics or excuses for not moving beyond the status quo, Online & in person

Hosted by Cambridge Judge Business School (CJBS), this panel discussion will explore the real barriers to achieving representation from all. We share our compelling case and plan of action for effective EDI with a spotlight on the unignorable societal consequences of not reaching gender parity in programmes.

Gina Warren, University of Cambridge EDI Consultant, will facilitate a bespoke panel of speakers including:

• Professor Dame Sandra Dawson
• Tomasz (Tom) Ujejski
• Stewart Grimshaw

Join us, in person or live online, for an energetic and vigorous discussion on our drive to get EDI right for all.
