Anne-Marie Slaughter and Jill S. Dolan discuss women, leadership, creating women leaders and the struggle for equality. Presented in partnership with the Phyllis Marchand Leadership Lecture Fund.
Anne-Marie Slaughter is the Bert G. Kerstetter ’66 University Professor Emerita of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University and CEO of New America. Jill S. Dolan is dean of the College at Princeton University.
Considerable time, effort and money have been devoted to investigating ways to advance women in the workplace. For example by providing new graduates with mentorship programs, creating fair parental leave polices, hosting women’s leadership conferences, etc., and yet, in 2022, there are still relatively few women in high leadership positions in business, politics and academia.
At a time when women's rights are under attack, how can we advance the role of women in all sectors of society? This question and others will be explored.
