wwt 2010: self promotion: is this really a rant about gender?
DESCRIPTION
In A Rant About Women, Clay Shirky provoked a big debate in the blogosphere. Do enough women have what it takes to behave like arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks to get ahead? This panel will examine how people in a position of power judge and promote others. How do we deal with filters and responses to the self promoting culture that appears to discern a gender imbalance in hiring, funding, and speaking? Is it a gender problem or is it a filter problem? We'll also tackle how we can refocus to include more than those just very good at self promotion.Panelists: Clay Shirky, Author, Mary Hodder Dabble.com and Technologist, Lynne D. Johnson, Advertising Research Foundation, Kevin Marks, British Telecommunications and Allyson Kapin, Women Who Tech and Rad CampaignTRANSCRIPT
