Sitting Down with Scholars 49

Noma like so many women didn't know what being a woman was till she started working. That is how she puts it, and it is the sentence at the heart of her research. A PhD candidate and HR professional with nearly a decade across food manufacturing, rail, logistics, and the NHS, Norma now studies the hidden and visible barriers shaping women's career development, building a measurement instrument she hopes will help women see the full picture before they react. She is also the founder of PhD Hard Talk, a community built to share the knowledge most people have to learn the hard way. In this episode, we talk about the glass ceiling nobody talks about plainly, sponsorship behind closed doors, the compounding weight of race and gender in the workplace, and why everyone thinks her research is about women when it is really about barriers. Keep learning, keep questioning.
