Past event
Responding to feedback from our previous event on ‘what next for the SIG’, this themed workshop provided an opportunity for PGRs and ECRs to discuss what it means to survive and thrive as a gender and sexuality education academic and researcher. We started the session with two 5 minute lightening presentations by the Gender and Sexuality Research Group GASP (Cardiff University) and the Feminist Education Research Lab, FEEL (University College London). Members of GASP shared some developments in their “JARRING” praxis from the chapter “Memoirs and Manifestos for Early Career Researchers in Gender and Sexuality Education Research” in the book, “Uplifting Gender and Sexuality Education Research, edited by Tiffany Jones, Leanne Coll, Lisa van Leent and Yvette Taylor. FEEL discussed their institutional fight for trans-inclusive feminism. These talks were followed by facilitated break-out groups and a collective discussion designed to affirm and support different ways of being and becoming a gender and sexuality education academic, with a special emphasis on care, ethics, inclusivity and intersectionality.
