Genderful Experiences

The postgraduate students Vasuki Shanmuganathan and Claire Harnett-Mann from Interdisciplinary Gender Studies at the University of Birmingham are holding , a conference (in the Learning Centre UG05) for postgraduate students of humanities and social sciences on issues relating to the study of gender.<br> <br> "Genderful Experiences" offers an opportunity for postgraduates to present their theoretically and/or empirically focused research on issues relating to gender. We want to provide a collegial environment to share research and ideas but also debate gender issues arising out of this research. Furthermore, our aim is to establish a network of contacts starting with the participants and attendees of this conference and expanding into future conferences. At the conclusion of the conference, there will be a roundtable discussion on the practical applications of gender in teaching, researching and learning; the future of gender studies in academia; and the direction of feminism in general.<br> <br> <b>Our guest speakers</b>:<br> <b>Louise Brown</b>, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, University of Birmingham<br> <b>Charlotte E.
