Professor of Educational Studies Nancy Taber’s views on leadership draw on her diverse experiences, including as a military officer, feminist academic and fiction author, which she will share at the next Women in Leadership virtual session on Thursday, Mar. 27. From military officer to feminist academic and fiction author to creative writing facilitator, Nancy Taber’s journey has been anything but linear.
The Professor of Educational Studies and former Sea King helicopter air navigator combines these various — and sometimes contradictory — roles in her current scholarly, creative and community work.
In an upcoming Women in Leadership session, Taber will discuss her experiences serving in the military, becoming a feminist academic, authoring her first novel, mentoring writers and serving as co-director of the Transforming Military Cultures network.
“Feminist and creative theories, pedagogies and practices were key to transformative change in my life,” she says.
Taber’s presentation, “Learning about women’s leadership through fiction-based research, expressive writing workshops, and (critiquing) military service,” takes place Thursday, March 27, from noon to 1 p.m. on Microsoft Teams.
Details on this and other upcoming Women in Leadership sessions, including dates, descriptions and login information are available on the WIL website. Members of the Brock community can use their Campus ID to access recordings of past sessions.
