The international Language, Gender and Leadership Network, funded by the UK’s Global Challenges Research Fund and the Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC), works to enhance economic development and the welfare of women and girls by analysing the key challenges facing them to become a successful generation of leaders in businesses, politics and communities in Africa and beyond.
Following our first two conferences in East Africa during 2018 in Kampala, Uganda, and Eldoret, Kenya, our third event takes place in the UK at the University of Nottingham. The theme of the final conference in this series is Language, Gender and Leadership: Towards a Global, Sustainable Future.
At this event we will showcase the work of the network so far, including some of the most inspirational stories from our unique dataset of over 100 life history narratives collected between 2018-19 from women and girls of different ages and backgrounds in East Africa. The conference will also act as the official launch of the Language, Gender and Leadership Network’s website.
