The Black Ceiling: How Race Still Matters in the Elite Workplace

5:00 PM - 6:30 PM
Humanities Commons, Humanities Building

Law Professor Kevin Woodson will share insights from his book, The Black Ceiling: How Race Still Matters in the Elite Workplace. Based on interviews with more than 100 Black attorneys, investment bankers, and management consultants, the book identifies new obstacles to equity and inclusion that undermine the careers of many Black professionals and workers from other marginalized groups. Woodson will explain these problems and discuss some of the steps that workers, allies, and employers can take to help address them.
