This is a brilliant interview! Hats off to Kathy for all you have done for these women and bridging the cultural and digital divide.
Great interview Kathy ! thanks to the little salute to the other grantees!
Kathy’s work in Bangladesh is inspiring, as she exemplifies the combination of theory and practice–praxis. In addition to Kathy Ward’s praxis of feminist sociology, she is making use of cutting edge technology to bridge the divides between cultures.
Thanks for making this interview available online!!!
