SUE LEDWITH has been awarded a two-year Leverhulme Emeritus scholarship to develop her international collaborative work about women trade union leaders. Sue is already coordinating a research project across a dozen countries where graduates of sister courses of Ruskin’s MA International Labour and Trade Union Studies programme are researching the position of women in their own trade unions and countries in terms of where women are in union hierarchies, gender and diversity equality policies and practices, and collective bargaining gender agendas in these unions. These young trade unionists are all alumni of the Global Labour University, of which Ruskin is an associate member. As a core part of the scholarship work, Sue will work with some of them in Brazil, South Africa and India, where GLU MA programmes are run, to build a comparative study of gender and trade union leadership. She also hopes to teach on the GLU courses.
