Gendered Discourses on Stability and Change: Women Communicating Wisdom

• In Event: Women's authority, voice and negotiation of structures of power

Abstract

A limited number of feminists studied concrete situations in which women’s networks have created spaces of encounter, empowerment, and conversation for women. This paper provides an analysis of the thoughts expressed by women who participated in the panel discussion “Women Communicating Wisdom” and in the survey conducted by a student chapter of the Association for Women in Communication. Research participants of diverse backgrounds have revealed intriguing thoughts about wisdom and the ways to communicate it.
