FWSA Postgraduate- Funding winners present their Interdisciplinary Seminar
SECOND CALL FOR ABSTRACTS AND REGISTRATION: Work, Family and Education: Postgraduate Interdisciplinary Seminar
Keynote Speaker: Professor Linda McDowell
15th September 2009 Newcastle University
Sponsored by the Feminist and Womens Studies Association (FWSA)
The theme of this one-day interdisciplinary seminar is to explore how
social inequalities continue to exist in the worlds of work, family
and education. The aim of this event is to point to the challenges
individuals and families have to face in the changing areas of everyday
life. The interconnectedness between work (both paid and unpaid), family
and education are of continuing importance as choice (or lack of) in one
area can significantly affect opportunities in other areas of life.
The research fields of work, education and family whilst interlinking,
provide a massive scope for a wide range of specific research subjects,
issues and challenges. By providing a platform for postgraduate
researchers to share their experiences and research findings, in which
ethical, methodological and theoretical issues are also paramount, this
event will provide scope for information and practice sharing in a
friendly and informal environment.
We welcome abstracts on the following:
Work, both paid and unpaid
Family / Household
Education
The interlinks between work, family and/or education
Relationships with other social divisions
Theoretical and Methodological Papers
EXTENDED DEADLINE DATE FOR ABSTRACTS: 13TH July 2009. If you are
interested please submit a title and abstract (of no ore than 250 words)
to socpgr.events@ncl.ac.uk. Presentations
will be 20 minutes long with 10 minutes for questions.
