EqualiTEA: A Conversation on Gendered Work with Lise Vesterlund

All organizations have tasks that no one wants to do—whether it’s planning the office party, serving on a committee, or handling routine administrative tasks. From office housework to more important assignments, the work that goes unrewarded is more often handled by women than by men. In this talk, Lise Vesterlund—WAPPP research fellow and Andrew W. Mellon Professor of Economics at the University of Pittsburgh—will present recent research on how and when gendered work arises. She will also explore how differences in assignments affect evaluation, compensation, and career advancement. This talk is part of EqualiTEA: Conversations on Women & Gender Equity at the Women and Public Policy Program. Tea (and coffee) will be served!
