Host Organization: FGPA & Fresh Thinking Series
More Information: Please click here for additional details.

The Fresh Thinking Series is partnering with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs to host a special session on Women in Leadership. This session will focus on the importance of supporting and celebrating women in leadership roles at Carleton and in the community.

Guest speaker Joy Mighty, Associate Vice-President (Teaching & Learning). will draw on Sheryl Sandberg’s philosophy that “[t]he ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have” (Sandberg, 2013, p.35), She will share lessons that she has learnt about leadership, particularly in the context of her personal experiences and research on “immigrant women of colour in the labour force”. She will then explore how we, as individual women and men, as well as an institution, may build a community to develop and support women in leadership at Carleton.

Her talk will be followed by an open Q&A. Lunch refreshments will be provided.

Dr. Mighty is a tenured professor who has displayed leadership in her roles as the Director of the Centre for Teaching and Learning at Queen’s University, the Coordinator of the Teaching and Learning Centre at the University of New Brunswick, as well as Past-President of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. Joy joined Carleton in November 2012.
