The Coady is also sharing its most recent publication, a paper titled “Gender-based violence: Can a more comprehensive definition lead to better strategies for increasing women’s economic agency?”. On Tuesday, the Coady, the Maritimes-Guatemala Breaking the Silence Solidarity Network, and StFX Service Learning are hosting a pizza social for StFX students. The week will wrap up with a webinar titled Challenging Hegemony (Hoh-gem-oh-nee) in Development, that is part of the Coady Coffee House series
Brian Lazzuri, manager of marketing and communications with the Coady, said it is important to recognize there are different ways of reaching people.
