“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” – Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Join us for a panel discussion on the powerful contributions women are making towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Poverty, climate change, and other pressing challenges facing humanity and can only be mitigated by empowering and educating women. They are a force in local and global decisions, and provide knowledge that draws attention to healthcare, education, and discriminatory policies whose balance serve as prerequisites for sustainable development. The panel of scientists will provide insight on how women are forging the path toward environmental stewardship, social justice and equal economic opportunity.

Meena Balgopal, Professor, Biology
Elissa Braunstein, Department Chair and Professor, Economics
Kathleen Galvin, Professor, Anthropology and Geography, and Director of Africa Center
Stephanie Malin, Associate Professor, Sociology
