“Women’s leadership leans towards relationship-building, consensus, and
values of equality, fairness, ethics,” says Peggy Clark, co-chair of the
[2]Aspen Forum on Women and Girls. This is the approach we needed over the
last year and the one we’ll need going forward. While some women leaders
have made headlines recently—most notably poets, prime ministers, and vice
presidents—[3]a host of bold and determined women are better preparing us
for the future using what Clark calls “a deeply practical morality."

generations of leadership and activism for financial security policies that
offer support and dignity to everyone, especially Black women. The
[13]Financial Security Program pays tribute to some of the organizations

[23]Better Diplomacy, One Artist at a Time

Formal diplomacy is the tried-and-true approach to international relations.
But cultural diplomacy, which includes artists and creators who interact
across borders and boundaries, is a more courageous and [24]often more
effective diplomatic tool, says Andrei Tarnea, a Romanian diplomat who
writes for the [25]Aspen Ministers Forum.

[27]In the News: Revitalizing Science in America

Can the United States lead the way in science again? Dr. Aaron Mertz of the
[28]Science and Society Program thinks so. His coauthored [29]piece in
Science magazine envisions an American Science Corps, a groundbreaking new
government program that would reignite public enthusiasm for science. On
[30]LA Weekly’s podcast, Dr. Mertz describes the Science Corps as a
“government-funded program that would employ thousands of early-career
scientists in underserved urban and rural communities.” Hailed by
[31]CNN’s Fareed Zakaria as “an answer” to public distrust of science in
the US, the Science Corps would restore science to a central place in the
cultural landscape of America.
