Gender Equity and Leadership Research Symposium
The Women’s Leadership Initiative at UD hosts research symposia that include faculty and doctoral students interested in research on gender equity and women’s leadership. Each symposium consists of interactive sessions with light research presentations, experience sharing, and idea generation among audience members. The purpose is for faculty to share their work with one another, collectively inspire new scholarship, stimulate ongoing dialogue, and potentially develop new research ideas and co-authored projects.
