Paula Sevilla Núñez: Thinking Through Ways to Reduce Inequalities in Societies
Thanks for having me, Spiffy! At NYU CIC, through the Pathfinders initiative, I work with governments and organizations to think through ways to reduce inequalities in societies, so that everyone has access to services and opportunities. We show how societies that are more equal are also better positioned to address other challenges, like climate change, pandemics or violence. We help raise awareness of lessons learned and experiences from different countries and organizations, and provide evidence for the importance of ensuring fairer outcomes for all members of society regardless of their income, race, ethnicity, gender, nationality, etc.

Anna Penido: Training Educational Leaders to Offer Quality Education with Equity

Anna: It’s great to be here, Spiffy! I live in Brazil, a beautiful but very unequal country, where the rich have many privileges and the poor face difficulties in accessing basic rights. In my country, racism is considered a crime, but it continues to exist and deepens inequalities. Black, brown, and indigenous people are seen and treated with prejudice. Cis men also have more opportunities than women and the LGBTQIA+ population. Education could reduce these inequities, but underprivileged groups generally go to the worst schools, are unable to learn well, and have great difficulty improving their lives. We want to promote more equity in education to reduce inequality in Brazil and in other countries in the Global South.
