Intersections of Gender, Class and Work Seminar
Post-graduate One Day Seminar Event
Newcastle University UK, 12th May 2008
We invite you to attend a one day seminar event to be held at Newcastle
University this May which will explore intersecting gender, class and work
identities and the ways in which they respond to and effect economic and
social change, both materially and subjectively.
We are looking to provide a forum to engage with current debates and
theories, focusing discussion around the concept of inter-sectionality
(theorising one identity such as gender by exploring its intersections
with class, race, gender, age, sexuality, disability etc) and how this
might influence how we do feminist research in practice.
The aim of this one-day event is to provide a friendly environment for the
cross-fertilisation of ideas across institutions and between research
clusters. This seminar will be inter-disciplinary and broad in its focus.
The day will include paper, poster and video presentations as well as an
opportunity to discuss and debate the issues of the day. Sessions will be
chaired by Professor Nina Laurie, De Helen Jarvis, Dr Alison Stenning and
Dr Yvette Taylor.
We still welcome poster presentations from MA and PhD students on the
following themes:
o intersections of work, class and gender
o changing gender relations at work and in the home
o space, place and the shaping of identities
o ethnicity and gender
o gendered work identities and practices
o commodification of emotional and aesthetic labour
o methodological implications of inter-sectionality
Admission is free and lunch will be provided. If you would like to attend
the event can you please complete the attached registration form and
return it by email to [log in to unmask] by 14th April 2008.
Attached is the proposed timetable for the day.
