First Seminars in Women in Learning and Leadership

Interdisciplinary Concentration in Women in Learning and Leadership

This concentration examines ways in which gender bias is reflected in the perception of leadership and explores the increasing role of women in global leadership roles. Students examine differences and similarities between female and male styles of leadership through courses selected to offer a variety of examples. They also examine how those differences are reflected in local, national, and transnational cultures. Selected courses offer students a view of women as leaders in historical and contemporary settings through the examination of literature, media, and politics; additionally students examine the cultural and social impediments to women's leadership.
