Transformative Women Leaders
Women & Power: An Online Course Talk with Vandana Shiva, Leila Billing
This is part of advaya’s course Women & Power: Reclaiming & Reimagining Power in the World Today.
Wednesday 5th October 2022, 6:00pm–8:00pm UK Time Zoom
This session rounds out the first part of the course: this week we ask, who are the women leaders among us who are building new forms of cultural power? In a world where the various spaces we inhabit are desperately in need of new voices and ways of leadership, how are these transformative women leaders uprooting long-held, dominant ideas of power, growth, building, and what are they allowing to take root instead?
