Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative (IGLI)
IGLI 2022
I am the co-founder and director of the the Inclusive Global Leadership Initiative (IGLI) at the University of Denver, which advances research, education, and programs aimed at strengthening the work of feminist activists fighting for peace, democracy, and human rights across the world. For more information and resources, check out the IGLI Website here.
IGLI has three core components: (1) Research on whether and how the inclusion of women and other underrepresented groups shapes global efforts related to promoting peace and security; (2) Education and Training programs for University of Denver students and the broader public on women’s leadership and grassroots activism, including a speakers series and a practitioners-in-residence program; and (3) Convenings, which nurture a global network of activists, academics, and community members working to advance peace and democracy. We are grateful to support from generous donors, family foundations, and the National Science Foundation for making this work possible.
We collaborated with the Feminist Peace Initiative (MADRE, Women Cross DMZ, and Grassroots Global Justice Alliance) to host the 2024 Feminist Peace Summit and launch the 2025 Feminist Peace Playbook.
