Event Details
The Beijing Women's Network holds Spotlight Dinners twice a month in order to bring our membership together to get to know each other and share professional and personal experiences working and living in Beijing.
Each dinner we spotlight one of our members, who then leads a discussion centered around their own experiences or a topic of choice. This week, Trude Sundberg, co-founder of QHumanity, will share her experiences working in the private sector and academia, how her experiences have influenced her attitude and values and how feminism relates to her as a queer woman.
About Trude Sundberg:
Trude Sundberg is a co-founder of QHumanity, the co-director of the University of Kent's Q-Step Centre, and a lecturer in Social Policy. She is a social scientist working to improve conditions for vulnerable groups through research, workshops, and teaching. Trude will talk about her work in the private sector and academia and what ignited a change towards more activist-led research and initiatives. She will share her experiences of being a young female leader, how to leverage challenges and strengths women have, and how her own experiences of difference, vulnerability and needs have influenced her professional and personal life. She will share how feminism and eco-feminism have influenced her as a queer woman.
Our dinner this week would be held at Q-Space, a community maker space in Beijing that Trude created.
Trude and other Q-Space community members will be preparing a home-cooked vegetarian dinner. Dinner cost is RMB50 per person.
