Gaslighting & Gender in the Workplace
Gaslighting is an emotional abuse tactic wherein the victim is made to doubt their own judgement and feelings.
At work, gaslighting combines with subtle (and not-so-subtle!) gender discrimination to undermine women and other underrepresented groups' self-trust and efficacy.
Talk Outline
This talk explores the various structures that support gaslighting, its effects, and the impact it has on women and underrepresented groups at work. It will help employees and managers understand the effects that gaslighting has on themselves, their staff, and their company culture, as well as learn how to combat its insidious influence. We'll cover:
- What gaslighting is & how to spot it
- Societal and workplace structures that support gaslighting
- Gender dynamics that promote gaslighting
- Emotional & practical costs of gaslighting
- What to do if you are being gaslit (or if you’re the gaslighter)
The goal of this workshop is to give attendees an understanding of the ways that gaslighting can creep into their workplaces, to demonstrate the practical effects it has on workplace gender balance, and to give them the practical tools to combat it.
