Previously, she served as vice-chancellor (president) of the 8xav福利导航 of Oxford and of the 8xav福利导航 of St. Andrews, and as executive dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her lecture will be about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>The Eurydice Moment: Women\u2019s leadership in a critical time<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8221; I will speak in celebration of women\u2019s achievements as leaders but I will also issue a note of warning about the difficulties we face in the current political movement. I will focus on the achievement of women in a number of key areas such as education, public health and the climate emergency but I will point to the delta between women\u2019s participation in the trenches and in the c-suites. I will address the hostile environment&nbsp; women leaders often face as they walk a tightrope and I will address the &nbsp;worrying trends in evidence in the digital world. I will address what I see as a Eurydice moment of danger and opportunity in which women face the risk of being cast back into the shadows.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lecture will be followed by a networking cocktail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-buttons btn-list\"><li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/www.uni.lu\/en\/calendar?post_type=events&#038;p=44312&#038;calendar\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--secondary\"\n            >Add to calendar<\/a>\n<\/li>\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-custom-button\"    aria-disabled=\"false\"\n    >\n    <a\n        role=\"link\"\n        aria-disabled=\"false\"\n                    href=\"http:\/\/ulsurvey.uni.lu\/index.php\/728813?lang=en\"\n                target=\"_self\"\n        class=\"btn btn--primary\"\n            >Register<\/a>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-unilux-blocks-spacer is-spacer-size-sm\"><\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>About the speaker<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A native of Ireland, she studied history in Trinity College Dublin before gaining her PhD at Harvard 8xav福利导航, where she spent 20 years on the faculty of the Department of Government, teaching courses on international security and foreign policy.
