casino 168 International Women's Day 2022
Join us for International Women’s Day 2022 at Copenhagen Business School – with the casino 168 Diversity & Difference Platform hosting a debate on how unconscious biases affect processes in organisations. We invite you for an afternoon with local and international researchers and a panel of organisational actors from the public and private sector. We are looking forward to bringing research and practice closer on this occasion.
As a topic of organisational research, unconscious bias has received increased attention in recent years. And with good reason: finding ways of working around bias can help diversify organisational talent, supports innovation and creativity, and improves the work climate. This is what is shown in the six articles published in December 2021 in the journal Kvinder, Køn & Forskning / Women, Gender & Research. Authors of four of the six articles will present the practical implications of their research, which will afterwards be discussed by a panel of practitioners who engage with tackling bias in their organisations.
Following the seminar, the Diversity and Difference Platform will host a reception where sparkling drinks will be accompanied by DJ Aviaja’s bubbly notes!
