Spring 2025 Seminar: Make Work Fair

A few years ago, Astrid Linder, a Swedish engineer, developed the first car crash test dummy based on a woman’s body. Her goal was, in her own words, “to make everyone in cars as well protected as possible.” And to truly include everyone, only male dummies won’t do. 

Our Spring 2025 virtual seminar series, 'Make Work Fair,' explored Linder’s inclusionary aspirations and explore what workplaces that work for everyone might look like. Based on insights from Iris Bohnet and Siri Chilazi’s book Make Work Fair, each virtual session dived into research and strategies that help organizations make fairness count, make it stick, and make it “normal.” 

This seminar series was co-sponsored by the Women and Public Policy Program and the Harvard Radcliffe Institute. It was chaired by Iris Bohnet, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and WAPPP Co-Director at Harvard Kennedy School, Faculty Director of the Social Sciences at Harvard Radcliffe Institute, and co-author with Siri Chilazi of 'Make Work Fair' (January 2025).
