SASiety's International Women's Day Symposium

A symposium celebrating International Women's Day with academics, & creative voices joining us for thought-provoking and challenging talks.

Join us for SASiety’s first full-day symposium to celebrate International Women’s Day on 8th March! By bringing together academics from different disciplines and different universities, as well as creatives from a variety of backgrounds, we hope to generate interesting and thought-provoking discussions about the issues that women face today. It will be both a celebration of all the work that has been done and opportunity to see where we might go from here.FULL PROGRAMME:11:40-12:00 Introductory Remarks12:00-13:15 Panel 1: Retrieving Women from the Archvies- Prof. Sarah Churchwell (Institute of English Studies, School of Advanced Study) - &#x27;In Search of Fugitive Histories: Re-Reading the Mass Archive&#x27;- Francesca Wade, author of &#x27;Square Haunting&#x27; - &#x27;Laundry Lists and Manifestos&#x27;- Dr. Godela Weiss-Sussex (Institute of Modern Language Research, School of Advanced Study) - &#x27;&quot;But Are They Any Good?&quot; Researching German-Jewish Women Writers of the Early 20th Century&#x27;14:00-15:15 Panel 2: Feminism and Intersectionality-Prof. Sophie Grace Chappell (Open University) - &#x27;Adoptions, Co-options, and Welcomes: Making Social Space For Transgender People&#x27;-Dr. Ruvani Ranasinha (King&#x27;s College London) - &#x27;Feminism and Intersectionality: Women Writers of Colour&#x27;-Prof. Lisa Webley (University of Birmingham) - &#x27;The enduring relevance of gender, race, and class within the legal profession in England and Wales&#x27;16:00-17:15 Panel 3: The Future of Feminism-Karimah Hassan, visual artist - &#x27;Creativity and catharsis: using art to advocate for change&#x27;-Dr. Eliane Glaser (Bath Spa University) - &#x27;Blind spots and backslidings: motherhood and feminism&#x27;-Glory Edim, writer and entrepreneur - &#x27;Well-Read Black Girl&#x27;*KEYNOTE* 18:00-19:00 &quot;In Conversation With Angie Cruz&quot;, novelist
