Dear Colleague,

 

Sorry for cross posting if you have received this and / or have already registered.

 

 LJMU next women in STEM and non-STEM lecture will take place on Friday 29th April 2015 from 10.30am - 12noon, Chi Onwurah MP, Shadow Minister for Culture & the Digital Economy, will be talking around the theme - “Make it happen.” Please see attached event flyer.

 

Chi Onwurah MP has been passionate about inclusivity throughout her career and will be talking about her work in parliament, women and STEM subjects, her personal experiences in the engineering sector and her own perspectives on women and leadership, promotion and unconscious bias. Drawing on her experiences in life and in government, Chi will explore what more proactive and positive action measures could be employed by organisations, women and people from equality protected communities to facilitate a real and tangible change that would bring about desired progression.

 

This will be the third lecture in the series. The first lecture, which attracted an audience of over 100 from across the region, was given by Andrew Miller MP; the second talk was by Professor Julia Buckingham, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Brunel, one of the few female Vice-Chancellors in the UK, who spoke on “Targeting the Glass Ceiling” and drew an audience of over 200 people. 

 

It will be great if you can join us on Friday 29th April for what we expect to be a thought-provoking morning.
