A political candidate in past provincial and federal elections and now a researcher, writer, and publisher, Catherine Whelan Costen will explore with us just what ‘a better world’ means and our potential to achieve it. She will challenge us to consider whether we want such a world or prefer to struggle with the status quo and conventional ways of doing things. Introducing her thoughts on the idea and practice of leadership, Catherine will discuss whether or not it matters if our leaders are men or women, male or female.
