Her talk will shed light on the social, cultural, and religious challenges that accompany these efforts, as well as the shifting dynamics of power structures in the region. Senegal presents a particularly insightful case, having passed a landmark law in 2010 that mandates gender parity in parliamentary representation\u2014requiring that 50% of seats be held by women. This seminar will explore how such gender equality policies are not merely legal instruments, but how they become embedded within broader societal contexts. Participants will gain a nuanced understanding of the interaction between expanding women&#8217;s political participation and traditional gender roles in Senegal. The seminar aims to offer fresh insights into the practical significance of gender equality initiatives in political life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light\">\n<hr \/>\n<p data-start=\"400\" data-end=\"1292\">Professor Seulki Lim is currently a faculty member in the Department of Politics at Bates College, specializing in comparative politics and international relations.
