2022. 2.18 International Symposium \u201cGlobal Women\u2019s Leadership: Proposals from Asia\u201d
\n<\/span>Series: Women\u2019s Leadership in Asia 4<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Almost seven years ago, the Ochanomizu University established the Research Organization for the Promotion of Global Women\u2019s Leadership (GWL) in April 2015. Aimed at presenting our achievements in research and educational activities since 2015, we are hosting an international symposium entitled \u201cGlobal Women\u2019s Leadership: Proposals from Asia.\u201d Coincidentally, this is the last symposium in the 2021 symposia series of \u201cWomen\u2019s Leadership in Asia.\u201d This symposium comprises presentations of the educational programs and research findings by the scholars belonging to the Institute for Global Leadership (IGL) and the Institute for Gender Studies (IGS), both housed under the GWL. Based on these findings, we will discuss women\u2019s leadership in Asia from global and diverse perspectives. In addition to those scholarly debates, we will hear perspectives on women\u2019s leadership from women leaders in Asia, who are Ochanomizu graduates active on the global stage.<\/p>\n

Co-organized by the IGL and the IGS, this symposium will offer participants the opportunity to learn through stimulating discourses and exploratory debates that criticize the celebration of the superficial diversification of leadership. The symposium attempts to transcend gender stereotypes and undertakes the university\u2019s aim of developing future women leaders. We hope you will join our discussions to develop the concepts of women\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
