Welcome to the Campus Energy and Sustainability Podcasts’ first short-episode series! Each month, we’ll release a half-hour episode based on a pertinent theme in the sustainability sphere, collecting a variety of opinions and viewpoints on important issues throughout the series. Our first theme is “Changing the Climate for Women,” and will focus on women’s experiences in sustainability, energy and facilities. Short series will be hosted by Kaia Findlay, podcast manager, and special guest hosts.
What if, to get ahead at work, you were told that you not only had to work hard and show up to your desk on time, but that you also had to wear pastels and not stand in doorways?
This is some of the strange advice Bonny Bentzin, deputy chief of sustainability at UCLA, has received as a woman working in her field. In this episode, Bonny discusses her experiences and her observations of gender at play in the workplace with host Sarah Barr. Their conversation sheds light on the challenges and triumphs women experience in teamwork, communication and leadership.
