Studying Gender in the Wake of #MeToo

The Women’s Collective of the School of Social Sciences at the University of Manchester invites submissions for a one-day conference on International Women’s Day, 8th March 2019. This conference seeks to bring together PhD students, early career researchers, and activists from a variety of backgrounds whose work focuses on the politics of gender in the wake of the #MeToo movement. This conference aims to facilitate an interdisciplinary discussion within and beyond the social sciences that encompasses a wide range of theoretical and methodological approaches.

In particular, we welcome submissions across two central themes: Activism & the Academy, and Gender and Representation, however all submissions related to the politics of gender/power will be considered.
