Episode Details

Baruch College School of Public Affairs presents the Lillie and Nathan Ackerman Lecture Series on Equality and Justice in America. In "It Don't Come Easy: Alternative Paths to Minimizing Workplace Gender Bias," sociologist William T. Bielby (University of Illinois, University of Arizona), known for his role as an expert witness in gender bias lawsuits against Walmart and Home Deport stores, advocates for more measurable accountability in corporate hiring practices. His analysis questions the effectiveness of diversity training programs and equal employment opportunity offices that have become standard in large corporations and institutions.

Opening remarks are giving by Mitchel Wallerstein (President, Baruch College), Ryan Alan Smith (Ackerman Visiting Lecture Chair, Baruch College), and Marianne Engleman-Lado (Granddaughter of Lillie & Nathan Ackerman; Staff Attorney, Earth Justice).
Recorded on April 22, 2013 at Baruch College.
