Moghrey Mie Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 I see they are running a course on financial management for small countries at the Nunnery. All 18 faculty members appear to be men. Maybe next time they'll have one on Equal Opportunities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's "financial management for small countries" not "looking after a weeks housekeeping money" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La_Dolce_Vita Posted September 8, 2009 Share Posted September 8, 2009 Well Equal Opps would be an interesting course, far more interesting that financial management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next time they'll have one on Equal Opportunities. Hm. The Business school has 11 faculty members, three of whom are women. Also, the management for small countries course is run by Oxford University's business school, not the IBS which is simply hosting part of it, and the course is being taught by academic staff from Harvard and Oxford. Hurrah for google! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VinnieK Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 So that makes it Ok does it? I don't understand why this is so irksome, unless of course it can be demonstrated that they have deliberately excluded women who have asked to take part in the programme with equal or greater expertise in this field than the men who were accepted in their place. Firstly, you implied that the nunnery were somehow complicit in denying equal opportunities. This is incorrect, not least because it's not their programme. Secondly, what basis have you for suggesting that this is a case of chauvenism? Is it so outlandish that the main experts in this particular area at the Kennedy School of Government and Said Business School and who were willing to trek over to the Island might just happen to be men? It such be pointed out that both institutions have a significant number of women on their faculties, including in senior positions - it may just be that their specialism may lie in completely different fields (especially in an area like this, which I suspect is of less interest to most researchers than those relating to large economies).

bluemonday Posted September 9, 2009 Share Posted September 9, 2009 A course on financial management for small countries. Hosted by that bastion of incompetence and overspend - The Isle of Man. Bit of a non sequitur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe next time they'll have one on Equal Opportunities. FFS!! Go somewhere and burn a bra - who gives a hoot? Most people are busy enough with the daily real problems that pop up like families and relationships not to mention work which generally keep the mental faculties busy. GET A TELLY, READ A BOOK or SOMETHING or watch SKY News, there you will find more important things to worry about than whether or not women were invited - maybe the men just happened to be more qualified to do so? Or start a picket line..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit of a non sequitur. Try reading about places like Turks and Caicos Islands and Bermuda before you damn teh IOM governement too much. At least IOM is not in debt!

Just an observation that no women are presenting. I wondered why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
