Please note this event has been posponed. We apologise for any incovenience and will announce a new date shortly.

What is intersectionality? How does it affect us? How can we be more inclusive when discussing gender equality?

Following the previous workshop, GRRIPP teams up with external guest speakers to deliver a workshop based on today’s problems and you provide the solutions. Topics of discussion range from gender minorities in disaster risk reduction, online safety laws and sexual violence (TBC). This workshop will bring light to some important experiences and research and extend beyond risk and disaster to the STEM disciplines.

Meet new individuals from all backgrounds to debate serious issues and make an action plan for one of the many challenges the world faces today. We will end with a social, to network, meet everyone in a more casual setting and have some drinks and nibbles. This is a great way to develop your problem solving, teamwork and presentation skills.   

This event is open and free to all, regardless of field of study, and attendance is encouraged to those who have, both strong opinions and are indifferent, on the subject matter of gender equality. We look forward to welcoming you then!
