If you thought last year was intense for diversity, hold on tight, because based on the way this year is unfolding, it looks like we're in for a wild ride. Already, Google was hit with a revised gender pay lawsuit that alleges Google underpaid women in comparison with their male counterparts and asked new hires about their prior salaries.

Then, a white man filed a lawsuit against Google, saying the company discriminates against white men with "perceived conservative political views." Meanwhile, tech companies are making little progress around increasing the number of underrepresented minorities employed at their companies.

On this episode of CTRL+T, I chat with Dr. Jennifer Cohen of the Level Playing Field Institute, an organization that aims to improve access and increase opportunity for people of color in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

Hosts: Megan Rose Dickey and Henry Pickavet

Producer: Christopher Gates
