Roundtable discussion: ‘Advancing Toward the Equality of Women and Men’ authored by the Institute for Studies in Global Prosperity
Wednesday, April 16th
3:00pm-5:00pm
Metropolitan Building Room 5183
What is identity? How is it defined by our current society? What role does it play in the pursuit of gender equality? Come explore these and other related topics in a roundtable discussion on the document ‘Advancing Toward the Equality of Women and Men’ authored by the Institute for Studies in Global Prosperity.
The event is open to everyone, and is intended to provide a space in which participants can reflect collectively on the importance of cultivating equality between women and men, both individually and in society at large. We hope to create an environment in which all may freely contribute rich insights, generated by our collective study of the document, regardless of previous expertise on the topic.
