Episode Synopsis

In Episode 10 of the Expert Matters Podcast we celebrate International Women's Day. Women are appointed or testify in only 9% of disputes worldwide and in many fields there are many fewer female expert witnesses than female practitioners overall. We hear from a guest panel of Kathryn Britten, Dr Frances Cranfield and Dr Kathryn Newns on the barriers and challenges women face and some potential solutions, before EWI's Membership Manager, Wiebke Morgen, tells us about EWI's involvement in the Equal Representation for Expert Witnesses (ERE) Pledge.Chapters:00:00-Introduction00:55-What's going on at EWI?01:47-Panel Discussion40:30-Newsreel41:52-ConclusionDetails of the resources and case updates discussed in this episode are available at: Podcast Episode 10: Equal Representation for Expert Witnesses
