Presentation: Shifting Gender Equality from Afterthought to Guiding Goal of Agricultural Innovation

nicolerh — Mon, 21 Feb 2022 18:28:58 +0000

Thursday, March 24, 2022 - 7:00pm to 8:00pm

Location:

Sun Room, Memorial Union

Celebrate International Women’s Day by attending Dr. Hale Tufan’s keynote presentation: “Shifting Gender Equality from Afterthought to Guiding Goal of Agricultural Innovation”

Gender is integral to agricultural innovation. Yet, gender relations, social inclusion, power and agency, often remain an afterthought in agricultural innovation processes. Using crop improvement examples, this talk will critically explore gender in agricultural innovation and design, including frameworks and approaches for inclusive design, innovative tools and methods that integrate gender research, and how intrahousehold dynamics shape crop trait preferences, varietal adoption and seed systems. The talk will include big picture reflections for the future: challenges of working across disciplinary barriers; global-local linkages when considering social inclusion in crop improvement; building graduate student competencies on diversity, equity and inclusion; and recommendations for agricultural innovation programming.

When: 7 PM; Thursday, March 24
Where: Sun Room, Memorial Union
Who: Open to all faculty, staff, and students

Opening remarks and introduction provided by Barbara Stinson, President of the World Food Prize Foundation.

Speaker: Dr. Hale Tufan, Professor, Dept. Global Development; School of Integrative Plant Science, Project Director: GREAT, AWARE, NextGen Cassava, and Innovation Lab for Crop Improvement, Cornell University.

In her work with plant breeders and researchers, Dr. Tufan explores how agriculture can contribute to gender equality and social inclusion. Tufan serves in leadership positions of several projects aimed at food security, crop improvement, seed systems, and gender relations. She is associate director, Feed the Future Innovation Lab for Crop Improvement; PI, Gender Responsive Researchers Equipped for Agricultural Transformation (GREAT); PI, Muhogo Bora: Cassava for All, division lead, NextGen Cassava; gender research lead, Feed the Future Insect-Resistant Eggplant Partnership. 2019 recipient of the Norman Borlaug Field Award.
