Session
Beyond Male Allies by Next Gen Men
Thursday, 21 September
Time: 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Location: Sustainability and Social Responsibility Pavilion Stage
The term “Male Allies” is frequently used when advancing gender equity in male-dominant workplaces like Energy, but does it actually capture what it is that we need from men? Hear how to move from benevolent sexism to buy-in to a form of allyship that is active, not passive – a commitment to transforming a system and incurring the necessary costs.
Learning Objectives:
Identify what is implied by the term "Male Allies", both good and unexamined
- Recognize shortcomings in initiatives championing Male Allies
- Select a pathway to inviting and engaging men as stakeholders for gender equity
