Gendered Knowledges: An interdisciplinary workshop – June 12, 2013



The Gendered Knowledges project is holding a Gender and Sexuality(ies) Interdisciplinary Workshop on 12th June 2013 at the University of Warwick. Gendered Knowledges is a newly launched research project that aims to explore radical interdisciplinary pedagogies in relation to Gender and Sexuality. The project, funded by the Institute of Advanced Teaching and Learning (IATL), will ultimately result in creating an interdisciplinary MA module on Gender and Sexuality at the University of Warwick.

The aim of the workshop is to provide an open space for participants from all disciplines and all faculties to develop a meaningful conversation on the future and possibility of interdisciplinary research in gender and sexuality studies, and to discuss how can we promote an interdisciplinary community of researchers at Warwick, and beyond.
