RESCHEDULED



These workshops are intended to be small, informal lunchtime get-togethers, giving staff and PhD students engaged in feminist research projects here at Strathclyde the opportunity for constructive feedback on whatever we are working on at the time. The hope is that we build our community by learning about what colleagues are doing as well as by receiving from them support and advice on our own projects. 

Presenters may use their session to offer a journal paper, PhD chapter, book proposal, grant application - whatever they need feedback on, the only requirement is that it is unfinished work in progress and circulated in advance to give other participants a chance to read it beforehand. The workshop sessions will consist of a 10 minute introduction by the presenter to highlight the purpose, main points, and intended audience/outlet of the research, followed by 40 minutes friendly and supportive discussion. Bring your own lunch!
