Whitty-Collins sets out the psychology of gender diversity from the perspective of real personal experience.The book tackles the burning questions: if women have equal leadership ability, why are they so under-represented at the top of organisations both in the private and public sector and in society as a whole? Why are we still living in a man’s world where virtually all the top jobs are occupied by men? And why do we accept it?

Selwyn’s high-profile events from this Spring, and earlier, are available to view online.
We began the recent series with the visit by the Swedish foreign minister Tobias Billström on April 16th. Mr Billström, a Selwyn alumnus, explained why Sweden had joined NATO. The video of the session can be viewed here:
Sweden’s foreign minister Tobias Billström gave a talk at Selwyn on April 16th about why his country has joined NATO. He warned that the world is going through a dangerous phase: not just the Russian attack on Ukraine, but also China’s intentions and the current crisis in the Middle East. These changing circumstances were why Sweden decided to relinquish the neutrality that it has held for more than two centuries.
An MA graduation ceremony was held in the university Senate House on Saturday April 6th. Selwyn’s graduands gathered in Old Court on a warm, windy Spring day and then made the journey into the centre of the city via West Bye Lane and King’s College.
