We run various types of events and activities where students and staff from all over the university (and beyond!) can meet and exchange ideas on a range of topics: open seminars, research seminars, postgraduate workshops, day schools, symposia, conferences and arts events.
For notifications of upcoming events sign up to our newsletter or follow us on Twitter and/or FaceBook. You can also follow our eventbrite listings.
Our regular social event is the popular Feminist Movie Monday showing films that centre stories of, and productions by, women and others who experience marginalisation and discrimination. See the Feminist Movie Monday page for more information.
There is also a Feminist Media Studies Group for staff and PhD researchers. If you’d like to join in with our friendly and supportive group, please get in touch via the contact form and we’ll give you more information.
