IGLI Programming Library

IGLI hosts curricular and community programming for students, community members, and feminist practitioners and activists. Spanning from conversations with Nobel Peace Prize winner Leymah Gbowee, to feminist academics and policy analysts, IGLI brings together leading feminist voices.

  • A WorldDenver Speaker Series in partnership with the Sié Chéou-Kang Center for International Security & Diplomacy at Denver University. Since leading a nonviolent movement of women that ended Liberia’s fourteen-year civil in 2003, Ms. Gbowee has continued to dedicate her life to uplifting and empowering women and girls across Africa and the world. In conversation with Dr. Marie Berry, prolific researcher and writer on gender-based violence during war and women's resilience, Ms. Gbowee shares how through education, advocacy, and grassroots movements, she has helped countless girls overcome unspeakable barriers and to pursue their dreams, goals, and passions to create a better world for all.
