The third Women in Leadership panel discussion is sponsored by the Society of Friends of St. Ann’s Academy (SFSAA), and the Faculty of Education, University of Victoria. Drawing from feedback from the sold-out Women in Leadership Conference held in October 2016, it was apparent that the community needs to continue the conversations of gender justice and change.

Dr. Kathy Sanford, a UVic Professor in the Faculty of Education with chair the panel. “Feminism is for everybody who believes in equality and justice for all – today’s world desperately needs strong feminist voices and perspectives to redress power imbalances and to change the world”.
