Education Studies News and Events

A new co-edited volume entitled Starting with Gender in International Higher Education Research has recently been published by Routledge in the 'Critical Studies in Gender and Sexuality in Education' series. The book, which is co-edited by Dr Emily Henderson (CES, Warwick) and Dr Z Nicolazzo (Arizona State University), provides a point of reference for students, researchers and consultants who are working on higher education issues and are considering working with gender - or expanding their existing repertoire of gender concepts. Each chapter 'starts with' a concept that is related to gender (eg. women, men, LGBT, Trans), and includes discussions of contestations around the concept and applications of that concept to higher education research.

On 8th February 2019, Dr Emily Henderson (CES) joined a prestigious panel of speakers as an invited speaker for the annual 'Inclusion, Diversity and Equity' colloquium at the University of Huddersfield. The other speakers were: Professor Judith Rankin (Dean of Diversity at Newcastle University), Professor Claire Warwick (Pro-Vice Chancellor, Research at Durham University) and Shakira Martin (NUS President). Dr Henderson was invited to deliver a presentation entitled 'An intersectionality perspective on diversity in higher education - theory, method or practice?', which provided the theoretical/conceptual foundations for the following discussions. The event was attended by approx. 100 attendees from Huddersfield and nearby institutions, and attendees included academics, students and EDI professionals.

As part of Wellbeing Week and Respect Day CES staff went on a walk followed by wellbeing tea and cakes. We are now ready for a productive afternoon!#WarwickRespects
