Women's Agency in Academia

Join us on March 10th, 2025, from 14:00-16:00, for what is promising to be a powerful discussion on overcoming challenges related to gender identities within academia. The event aims to highlight the increasing presence of women in academia, demonstrate their strength and resilience in overcoming obstacles, and inspire younger academics who are embarking on their journeys in higher education.

With Prof. Dr. Chioma Daisy Onyige and Prof. Dr. Natalie Joy, we have two senior academics at the BCDSS of international calibre, who are happy to share their personal experiences. They will be joined by two equally remarkable researchers and alumnae of the Center for International Development (ZEF): Dr. Rabia Chaudhry and Dr. Dennis Avilés Irahola.

The discussion is moderated by PD Dr. Eva Youkhana (Senior Researcher, ZEF) and Cécile Jeblawei (Press & PR Manager, BCDSS).

We call on representatives of all genders to take part. Men are particularly welcome to join the conversation!
