Findings from this effort will be presented at a Friday, March 10 morning panel on Gender Socialization and Schools. A Friday afternoon panel on Women in the Corporate World will probe widely held stereotypes about Asian and Latin American women in business. Other panels will address such topics as Women in Media and the Arts, Women and Politics, Social Control and Sexual Regulation, and Struggles for Human Rights. Participants in the conference will be coming from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, India, Japan, Korea, Nigeria, Mexico, Peru, Thailand, and throughout the United States. Now in its fourth and final year, the program has sought to focus attention on emerging links between the two regions, to strengthen ties between Asian and Latin American academics and mid-career professionals, and to train future leaders who will be in positions to manage these new relationships.
All events are free and open to the public.
