Our spring 2026 seminar examines how organizations can build fair and merit-based workplaces. Academic speakers will explore key challenges that undermine fairness and meritocracy, from bias in hiring to barriers in advancement, and will explore effective hiring and promotion interventions, as well as policies and cultural practices that move us closer to equal opportunities for all at work. This seminar series is fully virtual, and attendance is open to all. Register for the series here.

This seminar is sponsored by the Women and Public Policy Program. It is chaired by Iris Bohnet, Albert Pratt Professor of Business and Government, Co-Director of the Women and Public Policy Program at Harvard Kennedy School, and co-author, together with Siri Chilazi, of Make Work Fair.
