CWS 40th Anniversary
Posted on 10 June 2024
On June 3rd, members of our CWS community with students and colleagues from across the university gathered for a symposium to mark 40 years of Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of York. We are one of the oldest centres for women’s and gender studies and feminist research in the UK. The Symposium was an opportunity to reflect on the radical past of this vital discipline and imagine the future of feminism at UoY and in the academy. The symposium also marked the launch of the Gender Hub, an initiative to bring together the wealth of expertise within the University on gender research, teaching, policy and practice. We conducted roundtables on Feminist Pedagogies, Feminist Activism, Feminist Postgraduate Research, and Women’s Leadership.
