The Resilient Lawyer with Jeena Cho
Business:Careers
In this episode, I am excited to have Joan Williams on to talk about gender and race and how they play out in the workplace through her new “Bias at Work” survey.
Joan Williams is a Distinguished Professor of Law and Founding Director of the Center for WorkLife Law at the University of California, Hastings. Her path-breaking work helped create the field of work-family studies and modern workplace flexibility policies. She has been studying the legal profession and how to improve it for decades.
Topics Covered
She defines implicit bias and examples of the 4 basic types of ways they can show up at work: Prove It Again, Tightrope, Maternal Wall, Tug of War. Why WorkLife Law created the Bias at Work Survey and it’s goal. How the types of subtle bias that are captured in the Bias at Work Survey affect lawyers. What law firms and legal organizations can do to stop these subtle biases from affecting their employees.
