Episode Notes
In this episode we chat with Dr Stephen Weller, Chief Operating Officer at Australian Catholic University, to discuss gender inequality within the tertiary education sector.
We explore the importance of diverse representation in decision making, governance and policy making, and how change is taking longer than it should be.
We examine some of the underlying issues associated with casualisation, flexibility and academic promotions, and how these are providing significant barriers to achieving gender equality.
