A Conversation About the #MeToo Movement and Its Impact on Development

Program Description:

In a place where power and privilege coincide, we find women in development. They are part of a world where discussions and decisions about resources can be accessed for the good of all. At the same time, #MeToo has become ubiquitous, even though it causes both confusion and confirmation as the associated stories unfold. Join us for a conversation about #MeToo and its impact (or lack thereof) within the development world, and on the women whose careers are embedded in this intersection of money, power and privilege.

Presenter: Pier Camille Rogers, PhD, Director, Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management, North Park University
