These days there's no shortage of illuminating policy discussions about Asia in Washington D.C. and New York — just that the people participating in them happen to be overwhelmingly male.
In this episode of the Asia Inside Out podcast, Asia Society Policy Institute’s Lindsey Ford talks to Anna Fifield from the Washington Post and Laura Rosenberger from the German Marshall Fund about the importance of promoting diversity and gender equality in Asia-Pacific policy discussions. They discuss the need for exposure to a wider set of viewpoints, relay their efforts to elevate female expertise, and reflect on the role mentorship has played in their own career development.
