Feminism in academia: surviving and thriving

Paso de cebra by gaelx on flickr

Jointly run by the Centre for Research in Learning and Change and the Communication Studies academic group, this seminar is designed to enable a small group of academics to discuss their own relation to feminism in its various guises in teaching, research and organisational practices.

Dr Kate Bower, UTS, Australia, Dr Kate Sang, University of East Anglia, UK and Dr Deborah Jones, Victoria Management School, New Zealand, will give short papers on their research on feminism and feminists in academia across a range of disciplines from education to business. On the day, we also want to explore in our discussions feminism’s response (or lack of response) to critical race theory and other theories of difference. There will be opportunities for discussing and theorising experiences and for sharing surviving and thriving strategies and tactics.
