Video recording 2nd session. “Sexism, Sexual Harassment, and Academia: An Online Roundtable Discussion”

Appreciation! The video of the second, which is equally the last session of “Sexism, Sexual Harassment, and Academia: An Online Roundtable Discussion” organized by the Lagos Studies Association Women’s Mentoring Network, is now available. We thank everyone who made these two events possible. Ademide Adelusi-Adeluyi did an excellent job of moderating the events, making sure everything went as planned.

DRAFT COPY. PLEASE DO NOT QUOTE WITHOUT AUTHOR’S WRITTEN PERMISSION. The Future is in our Hands: Pan-African Women’s Leadership in the 21st Century Mojúbàolú Olúfúnké Okome, Ph.D.Professor of Political ScienceWomen’s Studies Coordinator Brooklyn College, CUNY Pan-African Women's Philanthropy Summit St. Paul, Minnesota December 6, 2006 Inspired by a Yorùbá adage: àtélewó eni l’a fi ntún ìwà eni se (one rehabilitates one’s character with one’s own hands/the solution for one’s problems lie in one’s hands), this paper argues that while there are numerous challenges that militate against the development of a cohesive Pan-African front among women leaders, there are also some positive aspects of African culture, (particularly in the ideals of philanthropy and community-building) that we can build on and accentuate to help us face the challenges of the future, beginning with the 21st century. These ideals include collective self-help, generosity, informal networking and mentorship and a
