Class on Gender and Philanthropy in Southeast Asia for the AIT Course “Gender, Enterprise and Organization” Students (Closed Event)
15 October, 2019 @ 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
This class on Gender and Philanthropy is organized by SEA Junction for the students of the course, Gender, Enterprise and Organization, at the Gender and Development Studies program of the Asian Institute of Technology. They are master’s and doctoral students from gender and development studies and aquaculture and aquatic resources management (also working on gender issues in fisheries) and will come to SEA Junction with their professor, gender and migration expert, Kyoko Kusakabe.
The course focuses on women’s economic empowerment, and is designed to analyze gender aspects of business management, both in micro- and large enterprise/ organizations. The latter half of the class focuses on gender analysis of organizations. As many of our students work in donor organizations after graduation, part of our class covers how building gender-responsive organizations can be facilitated by donor organizations.
In this particular lecture, SEA Junction Director, Rosalia Sciortino will discuss philanthropy, both local and international in Southeast Asia and its degree of support of gender equality causes and organizations in the region.
