We’re talking to Julie MacArthur who’s just returned to Canada as the Chair in Reimagining Capitalism at Royal Roads University in Victoria, Canada about her new research study: Transition Inequity: Trends and Impacts of Gendered Employment in New Zealand’s Energy Industries.

We start with some Energy News history – the March 2019 article about Alison Andrew’s speech at Downstream on lack of diversity in the sector.

The article had 23 pages of comments and was eventually closed to all commenters and the comment stream taken down. It doesn’t show the readership in a very good light. Before we look at her recent research, Julie takes a moment to explain what was going on.
