Women in the workplace: what does professional look like?

This year City, University of London invites leading experts to discuss the very current issues surrounding women’s appearance in the workplace.

– What is a discriminatory professional dress code in the eyes of the law and where do the boundaries lie?
– How did dress code and appearance policies come about and are there appropriate exceptions to these policies within the workplace?
– Why is women’s appearance in the workplace an issue in the 21st Century?

Panel includes:

Angela Jackman – Senior Law Lecturer and partner at Simpson Millar
Angela’s recent research centres on the way an African-Caribbean woman choose to wear her hair. She recently had some evidence published in the House of Commons Joint Committee report into “High heels and workplace dress codes”.

Charlotte Proudman – Barrister, expert and media commentator on women’s rights

We are delighted to welcome our chair for the evening Professor Lis Howell, Director of Broadcasting at City and expert and researcher on women in broadcasting.

This event will be followed by a reception for all guests
