Women and Global Health Leadership is a groundbreaking collection that explores the leadership roles that women currently play in global health, teasing out the routes that women have taken to leadership, the challenges that they have faced, and what has facilitated their journey. It brings to the fore the stories of women on the frontlines of this struggle from around the world, highlighting and complementing these stories with theoretical and analytical explorations of the structures and systems that help or hinder the process.
This event will include a moderated Q&A with some of the book’s authors and a keynote address by Dr. Penina Ocholla, former Dean of the School of Nursing at the Great Lakes University Kisumu, Kenya, former AMREF Country Director, South Africa, and former Country Director for FHI/AIDSCAP Tanzania, whose story is featured in the book. It will be followed by discussion groups exploring the topic of gender transformative leadership. Those attending the discussion groups will be eligible for a raffle to receive an e-copy of Women’s Leadership in Global Health.
This event is brought to you by the Johns Hopkins Center for Global Health Emerging Women Leaders in Global Health (EDGE) Initiative, Women and Global Health Leadership co-editor, Dr. Rosemary Morgan, and the Department of International Health at the Bloomberg School.
