International Women's Day Special: Women in Technology

03/08/24 • 40 min

In this special episode marking International Women's Day 2024, host and current student Mumbi Mwelwa (MSc Information Systems) speaks to two current student guests, Juliana Guillen (MSc Data Analytics and Business Economics) and Hema Srinivasa (MSc Information Systems). Together they discuss their experience as women from the Global South working and studying in technology, addressing topics such as their motivation to pursue a career in technology, the barriers they have faced in pursuing that career, their mentors and role models, and the advice they would offer to women and girls in their home countries who are also considering a career or studies in technology. This year's theme for International Women's Day is "Inspire Inclusion", and speaks to a two-fold need: to inspire others to understand and value women's inclusion, and for women themselves to be inspired to be included, to belong, and to feel empowered.
