Description

Today on the Take on Board podcast, I’m speaking with Deb Verhoeven about her recent research into gender equity and ASX300 boards. Deb Verhoeven is Canada 150 Research Chair in Gender and Cultural Informatics at the University of Alberta. Prior to this position she was Associate Dean of Engagement at UTS. An agitator, commentator and critic, Deb is a longstanding advocate and leader in academic-community engagement. In 2013 she was recognised as Australia’s most innovative academic for her efforts in creating crowdfunding opportunities for academic researchers. Deb is a former Board member and CEO of the Australian Film Institute and was inaugural Deputy Chair, National Film and Sound Archive (Aust.) and holds a current position on the board of CANARIE, Canada’s peak digital research infrastructure provider. She has served on the boards of the Victorian eResearch Strategic Initiative (VeRSI) and the Tasmanian government’s Digital Futures Advisory Council. Professor Verhoeven is a leading proponent of the Digital Humanities. Her recent research has addressed how we can use the tools of big data, networks and an understanding of digital infrastructure to shed light on power relationships and inequities. In her work as a digital humanities scholar, Professor Verhoeven is enlisting machine learning to redress the persistent domination of power elites.Resources mentioned Net effects: examining strategies for women’s inclusion and influence in ASX200 company boardsUpcoming TOB EventsTake on Board Book Club - 15 November 2022 | 7pm - 8.30pm, Zoom, Me First: The Guilt-free Guide to Prioritising You, by Kate ChristieMore eventsYou might want to:Join the Take on Board Facebook communityJoin the Take on Board LinkedIn communityFollow along on TwitterWork with meJoin the Take on Board: Kickstarter group programJoin the Take on Board: Accelerator group programFind out more about meContact me Hosted on Acast.
