The FWSA is also supporting the NUS – ‘Hidden Marks‘ campaign against sexual violence against students.

  • The International Journal of Gender, Science and Technology (GST) (http://genderandset.open.ac.uk)  is an open access, peer reviewed journal that welcomes contributions from practitioners, researchers and policy makers concerned with gender issues in and of science and technology, including engineering, construction and the built environment. Research in these areas is of interest not only to academics, but also to employers and educators involved in these sectors. We welcome contributions from a variety of disciplines and interdisciplinary perspectives and drawing on a wide range of theoretical frameworks. The journal has sections for research/theoretical papers, case studies and ‘Perspectives’ articles. Author guidelines for each section are available from: http://tinyurl.com/33n4lw6 We also have a number of books available for review: http://tinyurl.com/35t8q8d We welcome reviews of other resources such as websites or conferences. If you have any queries or would like further advice about submitting an article to GST please contact Jenni Carr (j.g.carr@open.ac.uk) Our aim is to help foster and provide a focus for constructive debate and interchange of ideas between key players and experts in this field – promoting the sharing of knowledge and new understandings. GST is funded by the Open University and the UK Resource Centre for Women in SET.
