Forthcoming Events
Workshop on Masculinities, Wednesday February 3rd 2010.
Please see below for an exciting programme of presentations of new research on masculinity which is organised by the Gender Research Network (convened by
Georgina Waylen, Politics and Victoria Robinson, Sociological Studies), and the Post Graduate Gender Group. This will be held on Wednesday, February 3rd, in
ICOSS, at 2pm-530pm, with lunch provided from 1pm, and there will be drinks served after the workshop has finished.
The event has also been timed to co-incide with the publication of a Special Issue on masculinities of the Journal of Gender Studies, edited by Victoria Robinson and Angela Meah.
Speakers are from colleagues in different faculties at the University of Sheffield, the Universities of Salford and Bath, and also include an international speaker from the University of Turin. It is important, if you are planning to attend and have not already done so, that you let Victoria Robinson (vicki.robinson@sheffield.ac.uk) know that you are coming, as soon as possible for catering purposes.
We very much look forward to seeing you on the day.
