Focusing on education in feminism and women’s lives, the conference will address interconnected themes including: women’s voices in education; sexual harassment in schools and universities; the history of women’s access to education in local and global contexts; the ways in which women’s entrance into education and research has changed workplaces and academic disciplines; the impact of gendered stereotypes in educational spaces, and sex and relationship education in schools.
 
The conference programme will be structured around five panels with invited speakers from a range of academic disciplines, the focus will be on bringing academic research to bear on topical issues of policy and practice. 

Alongside the academic discussions, participants will have the opportunity to take part in workshops facilitated by experienced activists and organisers, focusing on developing skills and networking to organise for change in local and national contexts.


This event is co-organised by UCL Women’s Liberation Special Interest Group (SIG) and Women's Place UK.
