Gender Equality: Americas Quarterly Summer Issue Launch

Please join Americas Society and Council of the Americas for the launch of the Summer 2012 issue of Americas Quarterly, "Gender Equality: Political Backrooms, Corporate Boardrooms and Classrooms."

Panelists will offer new perspectives on advances in gender equality across the region as well as the continuing challenges for women’s rights. As noted in the latest issue of AQ, despite impressive achievements in access to education and political representation, barriers for women remain across sectors.

Confirmed Speakers:

• Sarah Buitoni, Senior Associate, Center for Microfinance Leadership, Women's World Banking
• Jane Marcus-Delgado, Associate Professor and Director of International Studies program, College of Staten Island, City University of New York. Co-author, “The Public Debate Over Private Lives” (Summer AQ).
• Christopher Sabatini, Editor-in-Chief, Americas Quarterly
• Joseph E. Whalen, 10,000 Women Program Officer for Latin America, Goldman, Sachs & Co.

Copies of the Summer issue of AQ will be available for sale.

Prior registration is required.
