Guided by the Philosophy and Management of Social Transformations programmes of UNESCO, this new episode gives the floor to inspiring women thought leaders: Nastassja Pugliese, Kathryn Sophia Belle, and Divya Dwivedi, to discuss how concepts of gender and leadership shape each other and how traditional understandings of leadership have overlooked and dismissed women's potential. To empower women in and through philosophy, this episode sheds light on hidden figures of women in the history of thought leadership, those who deserve more recognition today, and calls for more women leading our world's critical thinking.

Dust off your philosophy books and join the conversation to learn from women’s perspectives and foster change in thought leadership!
