Late last year, Joy Clancy delivered her farewell lecture. Professor Clancy was the Chair of Energy and Gender at the University of Twente, a founding member of ENERGIA, the international network on gender and sustainable energy, and a frequent advisor to organisations such as the World Bank and the European Union. Also, for a brief spell in the early 2000s, she was my teacher. What I learned from studying in Joy’s classes, I still try to apply in everything I do.
