Presentation highlights women, leadership

Women, leadership, politics and public policy will be addressed by Georgia Duerst-Lahti, a Beloit College political science professor, at 4 p.m. on Thursday, April 28, at the Pyle Center.

A reception will follow her presentation, titled “Women and Politics in Wisconsin: Are We Moving Forward?”

An expert on gender and political institutions and on the role of gender in political campaigns, Duerst-Lahti works with Lt. Gov. Barbara Lawton on Wisconsin Women = Prosperity, a nonpartisan, statewide economic development initiative. Her presentation is the last colloquium in a series that is part of that program.
