Subject: Survey on Solo women in later life
Would you be so kind as to forward on this online survey to any women you know or organisations or networks who may be able to identify women who you know who are currently not in a relationship and who do not have any children. We are interested in women over 50 years as this is about identifying the characteristics of 'solo' women as they move into or are already in later life. The survey will be open until 31 July and this is a very hard to access group we suspect so any help is appreciated and every single person who completes it will be of interest. We have ethical approval from Middlesex University and my details are on the survey with information about it on the first page. All data will be securely protected and anonymised and participants will be entered into a draw to win a £50 M&S voucher or voucher of their choice. They are also welcome to follow us on Twitter #WomenGoingSolo where we will publish any summary findings later in the year.

Programme
Sexgen Seminar 4: Transforming Citizenships?
Friday May 30th, 2014
Research Beehive, Newcastle University
1.00-6.00 p.m.
The relationship between sexuality, gender and citizenship, and the construction of concepts of sexual and intimate citizenship, has become an important field of inquiry across a number of disciplines. How have transformations in citizenship in arising from social and legislative change advancing LGBT equalities initiatives impacting on these debates? What are the limitations to current conceptualisations of sexual/intimate citizenship? This seminar explores some of the key contemporary issues that cut across citizenship studies and social and political theory more broadly, including processes of normalisation and the production of new ‘others’, the disciplinary requirements of citizenship (the costs of recognition) and the ways in which majorities/minorities are constructed in relation to one another.
