A bit short notice and something a bit different for a Tuesday evening (unless you are climbing)
Tuesday 15 October, 17:30 - 19:00. Rupert Beckett Lecture Theatre, Michael Sadler Building, University of Leeds.
Carrie Gracie - Equal: A Story of Women, Men and Money
When she was asked to become BBC China editor, Carrie Gracie requested she be paid the same as her male counterparts -- and the award-winning journalist took on her employer when she found out she wasn't.
In January 2018, Gracie left her job in protest; six months later, she won an apology and pay parity from the BBC. She donated all her back pay to the gender equality charity, the Fawcett Society, to help women with low-incomes facing pay discrimination.
