Voices from the Field Brown Bag Speaker Series

The presence of women in African politics has been hailed by observers both inside and outside the region as a step in the right direction toward ensuring the representation of women’s issues. Focusing on the relationship between descriptive and substantive representation during the Zimbabwean 8th Parliament Session, Fungisai Musoni will analyze the challenges of measuring women’s substantive representation given the patriarchal nature of Zimbabwean political institutions.
