Ads are everywhere. No matter how hard you might try, you can’t avoid them or the impact they have on how we think about ourselves and others. Join our panel of researchers and practitioners to talk about how gender plays a role in what you see and how it’s thought about as a marketing tool. Learn what you can do if you’re interested in a career in marketing or advertising to keep gender and racial equity in the forefront of your mind. Linda Tuncay Zayer, PhD a Professor of Marketing and the Acting Associate Dean for Faculty and Research at the Quinlan School of Business at Loyola University Chicago will be discussing her research that explores gender, identity, advertising and consumer behavior.
