Sociology Professor to Speak at Carlow University

Dr. Phyllis Kitzerow, Westminster College professor of sociology, will be a speaker at "Addressing Gender Inequities in the Legal Profession" Tuesday, Nov. 11, at 4 p.m. in Kresge Theater at Carlow University in Pittsburgh.

In 2005, the Allegheny County Bar Association (ACBA) commissioned a survey of its members regarding career paths and income. The results indicated considerable gender disparities with respect to salaries and career advancement.

Kitzerow co-authored the final report, The Legal Profession: A Study of the ACBA Membership, 2005. She will discuss the research and the primary findings.

The program is free and open to the public.

Kitzerow, who has been with Westminster since 1978, earned an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin and master's and Ph.D. from the University of Pittsburgh.
