Building a better approach through research and practice
In our latest PDx episode, interviewer and SMPA grad student Victoria Makanjuola talks to Dr. Shirley Graham the director for the Gender Equality Initiative in International Affairs at the Elliott School of International Affairs. The Gender Equality Initiative in International Affairs (GEIA) is a program to encourage gender equality in all areas of global affairs, international development, political power, military strength, and government leadership.
Recognizing the absence of women from decision-making and institutional structures, is a way to acknowledge the need to include women in government and political power. Women can effectively contribute their experiences and expertise to global politics which were once traditionally regarded as male domains.
Dr. Graham shares highlights from the initiative and how the idea of gender inclusion has been gaining acceptance in academia and in practice.
