In this episode, host David Pluviose sits down with Gloria Blackwell, CEO of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), a nonprofit advancing gender equity through advocacy, education, and research.   As only the second Black woman in 140 years to lead AAUW, Gloria discusses the importance of representation in STEM and higher ed leadership as well as living the values of diversity, equity, and inclusion within her own organization.   KEY POINTS: - Gloria Blackwell's path to leadership in the AAUW - The unique vantage point Gloria provides as an African American woman - AAUW's strategies, initiatives, and vision to achieve “equity for all”  - The student loan debt crisis, specific to Black women - How to increase opportunities for women in STEM fields - An institution's responsibility to commit to equity in higher education   QUOTABLES: “Representation is so important for young women, girls, and boys - to see that African American women can step up as leaders and that our perspectives are incredibly valued.”  “We are doing research around so many of the topics we have been working on for decades that we thought by now would have reached a solution, that would have provided a greater sense of equity for women. And it just hasn't come true.” “The promise of economic security, the promise that if you get a higher education degree and what that will mean, it's certainly not come to fruition. A black woman with a bachelor's degree on average earns less than a white man with a high school education.”   OTHER RESOURCES: About Gloria Blackwell - aauw.org/about/leadership/gloria-l-blackwell AAUW's CEO Gloria Blackwell: "There Needs to Be a Reckoning." - diverseeducation.com/leadership-policy/article/15291195/there-needs-to-be-a-reckoning-aauws-ceo-gloria-blackwell-on-gender-equity-in-higher-education-leadership                                                                                           PRODUCTS / RESOURCES: Watch this video and others on our YouTube channel: youtube.com/user/Diversediversedivers Visit the Diverse: Issues In Higher Education website: diverseeducation.com Or follow us on social media: Twitter: twitter.com/diverseissues Instagram: instagram.com/diverseissuesinhighereducation Facebook: facebook.com/DiverseIssuesInHigherEducation/ Linkedin: linkedin.com/company/diverse-issues-in-higher-education Transcription services are available upon request.

This episode focuses on women and education globally and how creating opportunities for girls and women and ensuring equal access is directly linked to positive outcomes for societies. However, despite the significant progress for women over the past several decades, we find ourselves at an unfortunate point in time where women's fundamental rights are under threat, and where huge gender gaps continue to exist. It is also apparent that for many women their daily experience is based on the intersection of factors such as their gender, their skin color, their accent and their economic status. This episode's guest is Gloria L. Blackwell, the President and CEO of the American Association of University Women (AAUW), and is someone who embodies what it means to be a champion for women's rights, especially through the vehicle of education. Gloria is also AAUW's main representative to the UN and has been the driving force behind AAUW's signature programs, including its salary negotiation trainings. Most notably, she has significantly expanded AAUW's outreach to girls and women of color. Among her many accomplishments is her 15-year management of AAUW's highly esteemed fellowships and grants program—awarding more than $70 million in funding to women scholars and programs in the U.S. and overseas. Since its founding, AAUW has supported the work of scientists like Marie Curie, the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, and astronaut, Judith Resnick, the second woman to travel in space. Episode Themes: Gloria's leadership of AAUW as only the second woman of color in the organization's 144-year history to do so, and what this means for diversity and inclusion Gloria's educational and professional journey and how early exposure to a foreign language sparked a lifelong commitment to women's issues globally, taking her from a Peace Corps experience in Africa, to a degree in international affairs, to working in the international education nonprofit sector Since 1888, AAUW has provided over $115 million in fellowships, grants and awards to 13,000 women from 150 countries. Gloria discusses why scholarships remain such an important intervention for equality for women and how AAUW supports women globally Barriers that women continue to face in higher education and the workforce and how AAUW contributes to the solution through its advocacy, education, and research.

The Gender Pay Gap Myth | We separate fact from fiction regarding the "80 cents on the dollar" statistic

The Gender Pay Gap   During the debate, the question about how we address the perceived gap in wages between men and women went to Kamala Harris. She went on to state the statistic that we've all heard before, and that we've likely seen discredited several times. "Women are paid $.80 on the dollar. Black women $.61, Native American women $.58, Latina women $.53. These are common statistics used by many on the left to show that discrimination by men is alive and well in the United States. The only problem is - they are completely misrepresented statistics.   Let me be clear, I am not arguing that on the whole women are making the same money as men. In fact, if you look at those numbers speaking on total earnings by men, and total earnings by women, they are probably true. The problem is that those statistics are being used by politicians to make the case that men are still dominantly discriminating against their female counterparts. In truth, that isn't what those statistics show at all.   What those statistics show is that when one gender tends to gravitate towards lower paying fields, that gender will be correctly represented as making a lower amount of money. That statement my be inconvenient, but it is not evidence that our society is a male dominated discriminatory patriarchy. It is evidence that if more women go into lower paying fields such as teaching or social work, and more men go into fields like Information Technology or Engineering, men are likely to have higher average earnings.   Differences in career choices   To take an honest look at whether or not discrimination is a remaining factor, we must first separate the variables in the equation. One of those variables is career choice. It is not enough to simply say "women make less than men" without considering the different occupations each of the respective genders gravitate towards. Would it make sense to say that "Social Workers make less than Chemical Engineers, therefore we have evidence that there is rampant gender discrimination in the US..?" No, it sure wouldn't, yet that's what politicians are basically saying. I'm not saying that women don't go into engineering, and men don't go into social work, but the data are certainly clear that there are differences in the career choices made by each gender by en-large.   Let's look at a study from the American Association of University Women (AAUW), which measured median pay for the 15 majors most highly dominated by each gender.

WHAT’S STEM, WHO’S THE AAUW AND HOW IS IT ALL ABOUT GIRLS?           More girls are going to college, so why aren’t there more female scientists? Or mathematicians? Or computer developers and engineers?  Good question, and one that many organizations are trying to get a handle on, including the American Association of University Women (AAUW). The problem has led to numerous programs designed to figure out education, careers, and pay for women. The AAUW issued a groundbreaking report a few years ago and continues to look to improving women’s representation in these core fields.  One AAUW branch is even working on a CHiPS program to encourage representation in civics, history and political science.           Find out more when Ana Kay Yaghoubian, the AAUW STEM Senior Manager joins us to talk about Tech Trek and Tech Savvy and other programs designed to get women up and running in the science fields.            Call in with your comments to 646-378-0430, or post your comments and questions in the chat room.

Let's talk about SCORE with Sally Broff. You can listen to the show at the bottom of this page or on your smartphone. Raised in the Pittsburgh area, she left for college in 1967 attending Brandeis University. She followed that with a master’s degree at Boston University. Sally lived in Boston until 1993, working for some very small manufacturing companies. In 1986, she and her partner founded a manufacturer's representative company specializing in selling power sources to manufacturers. Then in 1993 she sold her portion of the business to her partner and moved to Southern California where she and her life partner founded a company. They ran that company for 10 years and sold it in 2007.  This is where her retirement began.  After that, Sally joined SCORE, a national organization that serves small businesses. Score San Diego: SOCIAL AND FAMILY * Sally and her partner Bob have a 12-year age difference and age has not been an issue for them. * Sally does a variety of activities with friends in the community she lives in. ADVENTURE AND TRAVEL * Sally likes to take one big trip each year and has been to some fascinating places such as; a trip to the Middle East last year, a cruise around South America, a land tour in China, and the Greek Islands. VOLUNTEER AND PHILANTHROPY: SCORE San Diego * She is the very first female president of the SCORE San Diego chapter. Learn what SCORE is and how she helps people through her volunteer work. * Once she steps down from SCORE as president in October 2016, she is not settling down! Sally plans to look into more volunteering opportunities including American Association of University Women (AAUW) and she would like to work with kids who are aging out of the foster care program. SCORE San Diego: HEALTH Sally and Bob, along with two other couples in their community, exercise every other day. Their ages range from 60 to 80 years old. Exercising helps keep her healthy, helps with balance and her core strength. She wishes she knew that in retirement she could stay so busy. Sally was worried she would end up being a couch potato with nothing to do.  She recommends that you find something that gives you the feeling that you are still making a contribution to society.  This can be a hobby, volunteer work, or even a new business venture.
