I was delighted that the Honorable Betty Castor and Doris Weatherford invited me to participate in the Athena Society's International Women's Day Luncheon as a panelist to discuss my work in Moldova and in Macedonia.
There
was only one problem, the luncheon was during my class period. Thanks
to the generosity of several Athena Society members, my students were
sponsored and had the opportunity to attend the luncheon as well.
Students were spread out among the tables - so each had the opportunity
to learn more from the community leaders at their table as well as from
the panelists.
It was an honor to participate in the panel, moderated by historian Doris Weatherford. The panelists included (as described in the program announcement):
"Nancy Natilson,
a former banker, has worked on international projects for women since
1996. Specializing in both microfinance and reproductive health, she
has been a consultant on three continents with projects in Bosnia, El
Salvador, Nicaragua, South Africa, Turkmenistan, Vietnam and more.
"Margaret “Peg” Ostrenko
spent three years as a civilian contractor with the US Army in Iraq and
the French army in Afghanistan. An expert in communication, Peg
previously was employed by Bell South, the Miami Herald, and Tampa-area
universities.
and me -- Judithanne McLauchlan "a professor of political science at USF
St. Petersburg and a Fulbright Scholar. She’ll speak of her experience
in two eastern European nations, the ancient nation of Macedonia and the
former Soviet Republic of Moldova."
As you can see,
the panelists were from different fields and covered many regions of the
world. Together, we discussed "The Global Status of Women."

In my brief remarks, I discussed the
work that I did in Moldova and in Macedonia and provided a brief
overview of the status of women in each country.

the campaign commercials a group of my women students produced in my

ReplyDeleteMy ex boyfriend left me and my daughter six weeks ago after I’ve tried almost everything to restore my relationship, I was disappointed. Nothing was working out for me. A week later as I was scrolling through my Instagram I saw some testimonies about DR, dawn helping people to rekindle their relationship and fix broken homes, at first I was skeptical but I decided to give it a try and I made contact with DR, Dawn for her help, few days making contact with her everything changed automatically, my sadness became Joy, smile was all over my face, everything happened very fast and the result was perfect. I’m using this medium to appreciate Dr, Dawn , if you’re having any difficulty in your relationship.
