Stacey Vanek Smith: Women in the Workplace in the 21st Century

The Bard community is invited to join a discussion with Stacey Vanek Smith on women in the workplace in the 21st century, why in the age of #MeToo the glass ceiling is still holding women back, and how women can yield power.

Stacey Vanek Smith, host of Planet Money's Indicator podcast, is a long-time business and economic reporter for NPR. During her 15 years on the job, she noticed she was talking to more men than women. Why? More men occupied positions of authority and expertise. In Machiavelli for Women: Defend Your Worth, Grow Your Ambition, and Win the Workplace, Smith takes a look at the barriers blocking women’s advancement and offers advice to remove them – from 16th century Italian philosopher Niccolò Machiavelli.

Smith will be in discussion with Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program Director Elmira Bayrasli.

Sponsored by the Bard Globalization and International Affairs Program, the Center for Civic Engagement, Open Society University Network's Civic Engagement Initiative and Gender Equity Working Group
