The WAPPP 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.
