Seminar on gender policies at CBS

This discussion seminar is the first in the autumn series on Law, Economics and Philosophy.
 

Title: Should universities strive for equal outcomes or equal opportunities among researchers of different gender?

Discussants:

  • Lynn Roseberry, Ph.D and diversity and gender consultant.
  • Torsten Skov, Ph.D in cancer epidemiology and bachelor in philosophy.

The topic:

Recently, Copenhagen Business School announced its goal of ensuring a share of female professors of no less than 40% in 2030. Are such goals, focused on outcomes rather than opportunities, justifiable? Are there hidden if not explicit gender biases that can justify such outcome-oriented measures? Torsten Skov will argue against such measures, while Lynn will defend them. Both will talk for 15-20 minutes. Each will then comment on the other, after which the floor will be open for debate.
