Déborah Rupert
Déborah Rupert is a well-being and career coach holding a PhD in biophysics. She founded Dear Academia, an organisation that supports academics to thrive in a healthy work environment. She teaches career planning for PhD candidates at Chalmers University, Gothenburg, Sweden.
Eva Ranehill
Eva Ranehill works as a professor in economics at Lund University / associate professor at the University of Gothenburg. She is a behavioral economist whose research employs laboratory and field experiments and empirical studies with archival register data. A large part of her research has focused on behavioral gender gaps—specifically on the robustness of behavioral differences between men and women, what causes such differences, and their economic implications. Her current research focuses more on the drivers of gender gaps in the labor market. In this work she sutdies, for example, gender discrimination in the academic hiring process, whether, and if so how, male majority environments discourage female entry and female leadership, and whether women may be less effective leaders because they receive less support from followers. She also work on topics in health and environmental economics, with a focus on mental health.
Healthy Work Culture - 5 September 2023
Déborah Rupert presented the key elements of a healthy work culture and how we can support ourselves and each other to thrive and prevent burnout.
Eva Ranehill presented her research findings encompassing two pivotal topics: female leadership and the impact of PhD studies on mental health care uptake.
Attendees enjoyed a comprehensive exploration of these topics, accompanied by ample opportunities to engage and ask questions to the speakers and the members of the Diversity in Graphene Advisory Group, including Alba Centeno and Amaia Zurutuza (Graphenea), Camilla Coletti (IIT), Stefania Vitale (ESF) and Mar Garcia Hernandez (CSIC).
