The FALF-WBS-WDB Research Chair in Gender Equality addresses this challenge through high-quality, solution-oriented, and policy-relevant research that advances gender equality across sectors through an intersectional approach.
- The Research Chair Holder will, therefore, provide intellectual, strategic, and academic leadership to advance high-impact, policy-relevant research on Gender Equality with a particular emphasis on business, development, development management and management using an intersectional and transformative lens. The role is designed to strengthen South Africa’s research ecosystem by developing a sustainable pipeline of Black women knowledge producers and academic leaders, producing world-class research outputs, and translating research findings into meaningful societal, policy, and developmental impact.
