Episode notes

We celebrate International Women's Day 2020 by interviewing three women in our department at different stages of their academic career. They tell us about their career journeys, highlights and barriers they have faced as well as what hopes they have for the International Development industry. In this short podcast, we interview Dr Kate Meagher, Associate Professor in Development Studies. “The UK has the most serious gap in promotions of female professors in the whole of the EU. And the gender pay gap in the UK is extremely high still… female academics are paid 15% lower than men on average.” - Dr Kate Magher Interviews conducted by Cherry Agarwal
