Tinuade is the director of the Center of Race, Gender and Class and the associate professor of the department of politics and international relations at the University of Johannesburg, where her interdisciplinary work bridges multiple fields to address complex issues related to women and gender. Ojo integrates political science, economics, sociology, and environmental studies perspectives in her research.
Tinuade says: “Closing the gender wage gap demands equal pay laws, affordable childcare, shared parental leave, inclusive hiring, and flexible work. It’s not just about gender – it’s about dismantling systemic bias across race, class, and opportunity to build a truly equitable workforce.”
