The People's Princess: Female Leadership During COVID-19

Global Inquirer

As COVID-19 has ravaged the world, some countries have responded better than others. New Zealand and Germany have outperformed nations like the United States and Great Britain, and many attribute this success to the leadership of women like Jacinda Ardern and Angela Merkel. In this episode, four of our researchers take on a psychological question with political implications: do women lead in a way that is inherently different from men? How do our views of women versus our views of men affect how they can lead? Host: Emma Ross Researchers: Abigail Quinn, Lyndsay Baker, Hannah Malcom, and Renee Swager Producers: Ella Anderson The Global Inquirer is a production of the International Relations Organization at UVA, and affiliated with TEEJ, UVA’s podcasting network.
