This episode discusses pay equity, corporate governance, and the pressing need for increasing gender and racialized representation in boards, the legal profession, and legal academia. In this episode, we have the pleasure of chatting with Dr. Carol Liao, Associate Professor at the Allard School of Law and the UBC Sauder Distinguished Scholar of the Dhillon Centre for Business Ethics at the UBC Sauder School of Business. She recently received the 2021 Influential Women in Business Award, an award that recognizes leaders in their respective field for contributing their time and expertise to the broader BC business community as board members, advisors, donors and mentors.

Prior to joining Allard, Dr. Liao taught at the University of Victoria Faculty of Law, practiced law in New York at Shearman & Sterling LLP, served as a legal researcher for the United Nations International Criminal Tribunal of Rwanda, and clerked at the BC Court of Appeal.
