Dr Grace Scrimgeour “What research tells us about women in business, and how you can use it.”

There is a wealth of research relating to women in business, showing the difficulties they face and the strengths they bring to business. Did you know, for example, that women earn, on average, the same as men with one degree of education less than them? There has been a lot of publicity about Sheryl Sandberg’s book. ‘Lean In’, but do her experiences really reflect those of the majority of women in business? This talk will discuss a few key findings from (mainly) sociological research on women and work, and suggest how you can learn the lessons of these findings and use them to improve your own situation at work.

Grace Scrimgeour worked for many years in the not-for-profit and community sectors advising and supporting unemployed and homeless people in the UK, before studying for a PhD in sociology at Loyola University Chicago, specializing in the study of work and gender. She has taught undergraduates for over a decade, and is now back in the UK, working for an organization that supports unpaid caregivers.
