The Myth of Meritocracy

Despite decades of effort, our path to gender equality has been littered with roadblocks. One of the most prominent is the notion that any deliberate effort to promote greater diversity will undermine our meritocratic system. In this talk, Kaplan will draw on cutting-edge research to bring a fresh perspective to this conversation.
Sarah Kaplan is Director of the Institute for Gender and the Economy and Distinguished Professor at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School of Management.
