Talking to Titans is a podcast about gender equality in academia.
In celebration of International Women’s Day 2020, Cathy Giangrande and Gudrun Moore speak to seven senior women who are the titans of their fields. Together, they discuss sexual harassment, racial inequality, mentorship, mental health, and success - no topic is off the table.
They ask some of the big questions about diversity and inclusion, and spotlight the skills needed to fulfil your potential. How do you deal with the challenges women meet in male dominated environments? Is finding a mentor crucial to your well-being and advancement? Is it better to wait till you establish your career before you have children?
