On November 6th, The Womens’ International Perspective (WIP) is hosting “Women as Social, Political and Economic Agents of Change” - our very first New York City event, sponsored by The President’s Office for Diversity & Community Affairs at Teachers College, Columbia University.

The WIP is committed to the belief that women are agents of change. We’re excited to present a panel of distinguished international women who will bring their professional and personal experiences to bear on this topic: Leymah Roberta Gbowee is the Executive Director of the Women’s Peace and Security Network Africa and the principal character of the film Pray the Devil Back to Hell; Dr. Monisha Bajaj is Professor of Education in the Department of International & Transcultural Studies at Teachers College; Gloriana Guillen is the Communications and Marketing Manager for Pro Mujer, an organization that provides Latin American Women with microcredit, healthcare, and training; Nomi Prins is a former Bear Stearns analyst, journalist, author, and senior fellow at Demos.

Women’s perspectives, as demonstrated through our work and the stories we publish, are critical in our quest for understanding and creating viable solutions for the most pressing issues facing our global society. Join us in discovering the insights and solutions that our panelists have made their life’s work. This community conversation in New York is bound to inspire as we continue to create change together.
