The CEO of the New America Foundation, Anne-Marie Slaughter, will be speaking at the UofSC President's Leadership Dialogue. These are five things you should know about her before attending the event.
1. Slaughter's Atlantic article "Why women still can't have it all," which appeared in 2012, remains one of the magazine's most read and shared articles to date.
2. She is a Princeton University foreign policy professor emerita and was the first female dean of Princeton’s Woodrow Wilson School.
3. Slaughter also serves as president and CEO of the New America Foundation, a nonprofit, nonpartisan public policy institute and idea incubator. She is a member of the Aspen Strategy Group, a consultant for Google, as well as a board member for Abt Associates.
4. She received her doctorate in international relations from Oxford and her law degree from Harvard, and she has taught at the University of Chicago and Harvard Law School.
5. In a Huffington Post article Slaughter wrote regarding patriotism, she noted that, "The false pride of perennial celebration, of wearing flag lapel pins while betraying the values that the flag stands for, is like the self-esteem curriculum for toddlers, where everything is praised and no achievement ultimately has meaning."
The President's Leadership Dialogue 2015 will take place on Thursday, Jan. 29 at 7-8:30 p.m. in Hootie Johnson Hall of the Darla Moore School of Business. The event, which is free and open to the public, will feature a 30-minute talk by Slaughter titled, “Leading from the Center,” and a conversation on leadership with UofSC President Harris Pastides, followed by audience questions.
