ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â

presented by Amy Ihlan, Associate Professor MAOL

Do women lead differently?  Are women leaders uniquely positioned for inclusive, ethical and effective leadership across differences? This presentation explores interconnections between women’s leadership and inclusive leadership.  Investigating barriers to women’s leadership and attention to women’s experiences as leaders can provide insight into inequities and challenges facing all who are underrepresented in traditional leadership positions. We also consider ways that women leaders can be inclusive leaders: by bringing diverse voices and perspectives to decision-making; creating greater understanding and respect for differences; highlighting the need for systemic structural change to promote equity, inclusion, and social justice; and empowering action to achieve these goals. 

 presented by Laurel Bidwell , Associate Professors of Social Work, and Carey Winkler, Assistant Professor of Social Work.  This presentation focused on our response to the needs of St. Kate's students and future practitioners... to develop self-care and a community of care. The course, Wellness Practices in the Helping Professions, emphasizes self-awareness as a building block for professional sustainability.

The Moore Lectureship Award was established in 1995 to honor Sister Anne Joachim Moore, the founder and President of St. Mary’s Junior College (1964-1986).  The purpose of the award is to promote an understanding of the connection between social justice and higher education in our community, a view Sister Anne Joachim espoused. Each year the Moore Lectureship award recognizes a faculty or staff member who has demonstrated this commitment to justice through their work at ÑÇÉ«Ó°¿â. These lectures are given during our annual Faculty and Staff workshops and now available here for all alumni!
