Graduate Teaching Assistant Leslyn B. is a Ph.D candidate in Learning, Leading, and Organization Development at the Mary Frances Early College of Education. The title for her research is A Feminist Epistemological Framework on How Experiential Learning Influences Caribbean Women’s Role in Political Leadership. Leslyn plans to study women political leaders in the Caribbean using a Caribbean feminist theoretical framework, research that is missing from the literature and promises to benefit Caribbean women and aspiring women leaders globally. Ms. Beckles’ research is particularly important because it might help increase women’s representation in political leadership in the Caribbean, which currently stands at 14.3%.

Leslyn recently coauthored a book on emerging leaders using a theoretical and Biblical construct to help young leaders understand the power dynamics of leadership.
