About this Event
How will the world’s largest-ever generation of adolescents and young people thrive in an increasingly complex global landscape?
To discuss potential pathways forward for the 1.8 billion youth globally, UNC Global Social Development Innovations (GSDI), housed in Carolina’s School of Social Work, is proud to host the Population Council‘s Thoai D. Ngo, Ph.D., MHS. The event will also be broadcast live online.
As vice president of social and behavioral science research at the Population Council, Dr. Ngo directs global research efforts in the four intersecting areas of sexual and reproductive health, rights and choices for all, adolescent transitions, gender equality and equity, and climate justice.
The lecture is an opportunity to engage the Carolina community, including global and local partners, to discuss the potential for innovative, data-driven social, economic, and health solutions that transcend national boundaries.
Dr. Ngo is the 3rd Michael Sherraden Lecturer to bring influential and original scholarship in social development research, policy, and practice to Carolina under the auspices of GSDI.
