POL 3320E: Women in Civic Leadership
September 2022 - April 2023
The impacts, effects, and responses to COVID-19 are and were not gender-neutral and many women are and were at the forefront in dealing with COVID-19 at the local as well as national level. This year, the Women in Civic Leadership class, through partnership with women civic leaders and engagement with community organizations in London, will examine and assess London’s experience of COVID-19. By telling the stories of how women community leaders in London responded and are responding to the pandemic, the class will show how gender is intrinsic to crises and crisis responses, and how gender-balanced (GBA+) and intersectional approaches can help guide future responses and policy.
