Now that Silicon Valley is making national headlines for gender discrimination, will anything change? On the April 9th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation about high-tech gender discrimination. Since Reddit CEO Ellen Pao lost a landmark gender discrimination case against her former employer Kleiner Perkins, two more lawsuits have been filed against Twitter and Facebook. The women suing allege discrimination, sexual harassment, and retaliation. What do women at all levels face? How are companies responding? If you work in Silicon Valley, what’s your experience been like? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar, and you.
Guests:
Noreen Farrell, executive director of Equal Rights Advocates
Katie Benner, Bloomberg columnist covering technology and Silicon Valley
Karen Hossfeld, SF State sociology professor who researches gender, race, and class in Silicon Valley
