At the 15^th DiGENet Dialogues “Sustainable Synergies: Uniting Gender, Diversity, and Global South Voices”, the inaugural lecture of Audre Lorde Visiting Professor Prof. Angela Dziedzom Akorsu (University of Cape Coast) examined how gendered labor divisions in Ghana intersect with questions of sustainability and equity. Her talk challenged prevailing assumptions in development discourse and highlighted the value of gender-sensitive approaches in both research and practice.
