FORTHCOMING CONFERENCE: UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM
PEDAGOGY AND POWER: THE PURPOSES AND PROVISION OF GENDER STUDIES IN THE
UK: FRIDAY 25th APRIL 2008
This one-day conference, to be held at the University of Birmingham,
will explore key issues faced by those involved in the provision of
Gender Studies programmes in the UK. Proposed topics of investigation
include:
* Do students want to study gender? Why/why not?
* What pedagogical issues arise for staff when delivering
gender-focussed modules to students?
* Is there a future for 'Women's Studies'?
* How far is the study of gender integrated into core modules on
degree programmes?
* Is women's (only) space a relic of the past or still worth
fighting for?
* To what extent are gender related modules/topics marginalised
within universities?
* Issues raised by the delivery of inter/multi-disciplinary
teaching
One important aim of this event is to strengthen contacts between
centres and departments offering Gender Studies programmes, sharing best
practice and discussing common issues. Student perspectives will be
represented, and we encourage postgraduate students to attend and
participate in the debate.
