There has been a historical fight for equality.
Today in the modern world the fight has drifted to the fight for equal representation of women in tech, construction, and wider STEM. I talk about the value of this. Values such as: women in the room where the build environment and the technology that impact all our lives are designed and implemented.
I also paint another picture and discuss the careers currently predominate carried out by women and question the way these careers are perceived and valued. And explore the very important ways these industries also positively influence the world. I used this to challenge this new form of bias and the way its manifest in this arena.
I talk about myths and folklore and the representation of feminine and masculine energies and the way it’s being rewritten over time to paint a new picture that limits both ways of being and the need to understand these embedded cultural ideas and the impact this has on our behaviours and expectations of people (bias).
I like to talk about the natural diversity in the world around us taking lesson from Gary Ferguson – 8 master lessons of nature – where the diversity in wildflower has a critical role in the ecosystem and can be extrapolated to see it impact in our wider lives.
