    The Lives in Perspective Project with Marina De Regt and Diala Brisly

    Anthropologist Marina De Regt and artist Diala Brisly are among the passionate team that run the Lives in Perspectives project and online art exhibition. Through Lives in Perspective, they elucidate the lives, stories and dreams of those living in areas of conflict. Our podcast explores their findings and motivations from both the anthropological and artistic lens, before venturing into what these accounts mean for issues of gender, politics, and relationships. 



    Visit https://livesinperspective.org/ to take a virtual walk through the exhibition and its many stories and illustrations.

    Sara Wachter-Boettcher on Leadership and Diversity

    Sara Wachter-Boettcher on Leadership and Diversity

    After her critically acclaimed book Technically Wrong: Sexist Apps, Biased Algorithms, and Other Threats of Toxic Tech was released Sara became motivated by the bias she saw in Tech and Design companies. She began to focus on building a company centered around inclusive, intersectional, and courageous leadership practices. She sensed that "we couldn’t stop powerful companies’ biases and overreaches without enabling a diverse community of designers, engineers, etc. with the confidence and skills to push back and change the conversation in their companies." Interested in leadership beyond the outdated archetype of what a leader should be?
