Women in academia seminar

When: 4:00pm - 6:00pm Monday 3 June
Where: Seminar Room 1 (upstairs), Sir Roland Wilson Building (Bld 120), ANU

Are women in academia affected by subtle micro-inequities, which accumulate over time and eventually form powerful barriers to their career advancement? Is the academic workplace of the 21st century a fair playing field? Is ANU succeeding in effectively supporting women's career progression or are there issues in need of discussion?

The Gender Institute invites everyone interested in women's career progression to join a new seminar series devoted to these topics. We are keen to bring together researchers on the gender gap in academic career progression, or who look at issues such as equitable promotion policies, implicit bias, or structural disadvantage.

The series will be kicked off on Monday 3 June at 4:00pm by Dr Fiona Jenkins, the convenor of the Gender Institute, who will discuss recent developments in the conceptualisation of gender inequity within academia in the context of her co-edited book Women in Philosophy: What Needs to Change? (OUP, forthcoming 2013).

Light refreshments will be served.
