Women, Social Enterprise, and Sustainability

Join us for a discussion about local and global strategies for creating sustainable communities through women-centered social enterprise. Our three panelists, Neha Misra (Solar Sister), Kelly Owensby (Transplanting Traditions Community Farm), and Schuyler DeBree (Duke), will guide us through examples from their work to help us understand and explore the role of women in reducing energy poverty, providing healthy local food and community gathering spaces, and developing a global supply chain of sustainably produced tea. We'll talk about the theory and practice behind focusing on women in community development programs as well as some of the challenges involved in social enterprise-based projects.

A light lunch will be served.
