Welcome to our March newsletter! This month we have a whole host of opportunities for gender researchers including our very own 2023 conference ‘Going Steady: Gender Research in Turbulent Times’, set to take place in Glasgow on March 9th.
Our conference features a keynote delivered by Professor Yvette Taylor of University of Strathclyde, as well as research presentations from wonderful postgraduate gender researchers from across Scotland (and beyond). We will also be hosting a Peer Development Workshop to explore all the highs and lows of gender research in these turbulent times, including practical tips on surviving life in academia.
Free tickets are now available here and we would love to see you all there!
Please get in touch via email or dm through our twitter (@PGRNScotland) if you have any questions.
