Where are the women? (WebCamp Zagreb 2018)

Where are the women? (WebCamp Zagreb 2018)

Diversity is a problem in tech. Minority groups lack visibility and representation, once (and if) hired, are often either assimilated or excluded. We've been spending a lot of time arguing about diversity, lately. It's time we took a closer look at the dialectic in the diversity debate – and see what’s helpful, and what isn’t.

This talk will help you understand and begin to fix the diversity issue in technology and beyond. It'll help you contribute to our community becoming more accessible, inclusive, and welcoming for everyone.
