Centre for the Study of Women and Gender Events

This term, CSWG will be running a full-day doctoral training workshop on Producing Feminist Research, aimed at PhD students from across all Warwick departments and faculties, and all stages of the PhD process, who are using feminist approaches in their doctoral work.

The aim of the workshop, facilitated by Prof. Maria do Mar Pereira, is to provide an interdisciplinary space in which to discuss the challenges (theoretical, epistemological, methodological, etc.) of producing feminist research. The training day will NOT be composed of conventional lectures on feminist theories or methods. Instead, we will work in a small group to share our experiences of conducting feminist research and to exchange constructive feedback and advice on feminist dilemmas relating to writing, fieldwork and other aspects of the doctoral research process.

This face-to-face workshop will run on Wednesday, December 17th, from 10.00 to 16.30, and will be divided into 3 sections:

• Theoretical, Methodological and Ethical Dilemmas in Feminist Research
• The Affective and Embodied Experience of Writing a Feminist Thesis
• The Feminist Politics and Ethics of Producing Literature Reviews

Participants will be asked to do a small amount of preparation work in advance of the workshop. This will include completing a short and simple writing exercise (up to 200 words) and reading one or two short texts for discussion.

We will pause for lunch but lunch is not provided, so please bring your own lunch to eat with us. (You are also welcome to leave the room during the lunch break and eat elsewhere.) You will have access to a kitchen, fridge and microwave. We will provide fruit and sweet snacks to enjoy during lunch and throughout the day.

The workshop is free and open to all PhD students at Warwick, but places are limited. To register for a place, click HERE.
