In the lead-up to International Women’s Day on Friday, a full week has been spent celebrating and recognising the women at Griffith who continue to help forge a more gender diverse and inclusive university.

The week began with an inspiring lecture from Dr Kirstin Ferguson, one of Australia’s most in-demand speakers and the inaugural guest in Griffith’s Remarkable Leadership Speaker Series.

Dr Ferguson, who sits on numerous boards after several prominent CEO roles, has recently written a book, Women Kind, examining how a shared and united women’s voice can transform communities and work environments.

The current Deputy Chair of the ABC relayed her personal experiences in the workplace starting when she joined the male-dominated Royal Australian Air Force straight out of school.
