#wef20
@leehsienloong @borgebrende 1) As global power relations shift, Singapore has a significant role to play in the region, but has to strike a balance, says @leehsienloong: "We still want to be friends with everybody, but you are pushed to be better friends with one side or the other." @borgebrende #wef20
@leehsienloong @borgebrende 2) "We've had 50 years of peace. Can you bet on another 50 years of peace? The odds are not negligible." - @leehsienloong #wef20
@leehsienloong @borgebrende 3) On the future of the planet, @leehsienloong says: "There is a lot at stake. I don’t think we’ll make the same follies, but it’s quite possible for us to invent new mistakes." #wef20

@iamwill @NaomiWadler @TaniaBryer @cnbcipr 1) "Struggling people are struggling people whatever your colour. But if you’re black in America, you have this added pressure that the police are weaponized against us. Our communities are a police state, it’s like a war zone." @iamwill, @naomiwadler #wef20
@iamwill @NaomiWadler @TaniaBryer @cnbcipr 2) Education is key to addressing inequality, says @naomiwadler: "If we only teach a child about one way to live, about the white scientists and the white politicians, they’re not going to grow up and respect the black ones. Education is flawed." @iamwill #wef20

Today, I will try my hand at live tweeting insights from "A #Home of One's Own", a two-day #researchworkshop on socially & economically #marginalised women's experiences of and negotiations with #genderinequalities in #informalurbanhousing in India.
This workshop has been organised by #JadavpurUniversity (School of Women's Studies), #RabindraBharathiUniversity (Centre for Women's Studies) and #Parichiti, a women's organisation. All three are research partners on a #GCRF project funded by @GoldsmithsUoL.
Since Oct 2018, I have collaborated with Dr. Henrike Donner, who is leading it, to develop #researchcollaborations with #educational and #development organisations in India to implement a pilot study on #genderurbanhousing. This workshop marks the end of the first phase.
