  • April 6, 2024 – YWCA Annual Niagara Leadership Summit For Women

    Join for an exciting all-day event of speakers and workshops at the YWCA’s 10th Annual Niagara Leadership Summit For Women!

    The Niagara Leadership Summit For Women presents an inclusive environment to encourage and celebrate women leaders in our community and opens the conversation surrounding women’s issues in Niagara. The event is hosted by the YWCA Niagara Region.

    Everyone, regardless of gender, should have the courage and confidence to be the leader they are and want to be. Leadership is not about being ‘at the top’—there are leaders all around us who make a difference every day. This event offers many valuable opportunities for women leaders and allies to connect, share common goals and evaluate common challenges, and network with like-minded community leaders.

    This year’s theme of Bold and Unapologetic encourages women leaders to be authentic, assert their worth, and unapologetically pursue their goals and aspirations. It’s about fostering a culture where women feel empowered to lead without constantly apologizing for their success or feeling the need to downplay their achievements. The goal is to redefine leadership norms, challenge biases, and create a more inclusive and equitable environment for women in leadership positions.

    Saturday, April 6, 2024, from 9:00am to 4:00pm
    Thistle Hallway at Brock University, with speakers in the Sean O’Sullivan Theatre
    Tickets are $30 per person and will include lunch and free childcare.

    For more information on ticket purchasing, the program, speakers, workshops, and frequently asked questions, visit the YWCA Niagara Region’s event page.

  • November 3, 2022 – BIPOC Perspectives: Feminism and Gender Violence

    Join us for “BIPOC Perspectives: Feminism and Gender Violence,” a workshop hosted by the Student Justice Centre and facilitated by Women’s and Gender Studies faculty Lyn Trudeau and Margot Francis.

    Feminism and the interconnectedness of gender-based violence are prevalent themes today. In this workshop, we will discuss what feminism is, the different types of feminism, and how gender-based violence plays a role in almost every “feminist topic.”

    Lyn Trudeau is from Sagamok Anishinawbek First Nation, Eagle Clan. Lyn’s research is through a decolonial lens and has included: working alongside Elders, Indigenous youth, Indigenous teacher candidates, and residential schools.

    Margot Francis‘s teaching interests are in the areas of Indigenous resurgence through artistic and community mobilization; feminist, decolonial and anti-racist activism challenging sexual/racial violence; and queer and intersectional approaches to sexualities.

    Thursday, November 3, 2022, from 3:00pm to 4:00pm EST
    Academic South/South Block Room 108 at Brock University
