In this episode of The Widest Net Podcast, Pam is joined by distinguished linguistics expert, Suzanne Wertheim, Ph.D. Having obtained her doctoral degree from Berkeley, she transitioned from academia to establish Worthwhile Research and Consulting, leveraging her expertise in linguistic anthropology to address bias in workplace settings.
