Our Reflections
At Gender at Work, we are committed to reflection as both a political and pedagogical act, using it to reveal insights, challenge assumptions, and adapt our practices. Our approach to learning is emergent: shaped by context, grounded in feminist values and open to the unknown. We see learning as both a method and a muscle: something strengthened through practice, vulnerability and shared reflection.
