A two-day event that aims to offer a space for women in academia to share strategies and stories of seeking a career in academia. We have identified six key themes – positionality, networking and leadership, publishing, feminist methodology, fieldwork and challenges of under-representation – that we believe speak to many shared experiences. We hope to encourage greater solidarity and sharing between women from different departments.

This event is open to all who are interested in these topics, including cis women, trans women, and non-binary people, and to academics across career stages. PhD students and Early Career Researchers are particularly welcome.

Event organisers:

- WIPS challenges the under-representation of women in the field. It provides a safe space for women to discuss gendered experiences, identify gender inequity issues, give feedback and increase transparency in PAIS concerning gender inequity issues.

- CSWG is a centre of research and teaching in women's, gender and feminist studies, based at the University of Warwick. It aims to provide a focus for research and teaching on women and gender in the university and to facilitate the development of interdisciplinary feminist research.
