PAFG697 Special Topics: Women’s Political Leadership in a Global Perspective
Course Description
The Women’s Political Leadership in a Global Perspective course prepares women for a career in the political arena by helping them develop effective communication and leadership skills. The course focuses on leadership theories, assessing and developing leadership personality traits, examining leadership styles and sources of power, and ultimately results in each student developing an action plan for self-development. We maintain an overarching theme of women’s leadership by examining the current global scenario, using facts and figures to explore the successful stories of female leaders around the world, examine the challenges, and interrogate the barriers that women face on the road to political leadership.
