Lisa is the host of GirlProfs, a podcast that launched in 2024 to celebrate the success of women professors. Each episode, Lisa sits down with a professor and dives into the details of their frequently squiggly career paths.

Right now, only 32% of professors in the UK are women despite the fact that they make up 49% of academic staff. GirlProfs aims to highlight just how challenging it can be to navigate the leaky pipeline to professorship, unpacking the issues women face in academia and how they’re overcoming them.

Lisa has interviewed 27 professors and counting on GirlProfs, providing her with an entirely unique insight into what it means to be a woman in academia right now.

You can listen to GirlProfs on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
