The Mappyist Hour - Women in Spatial

With Silas away at a team dinner, Tee Barr flies solo to host a candid roundtable on the experience of women in the geospatial industry. Guests Haynes Bunn and Shannon Dermont share their "accidental" journeys into GIS—from political campaigning to environmental resource science—and discuss the disparity between the diverse workforce and the male-dominated conference circuit. The group explores the persistence of imposter syndrome, the hesitation to claim the "developer" title, and the critical role of mentorship in closing the gender gap on stage and in the boardroom.
