Staff and students from the University will take part in an online panel discussion about ‘Nurturing Women’s Ambitions’. We’ll talk about systemic barriers to women’s progression in careers and leadership roles, the importance of intersectionality when understanding these barriers, and the role of mentoring, allies and role models.

- Accelerating Action
- Tuesday 11 March
- 9.30am-1pm
- Riverside Innovation Centre (next to Wheeler)
Focusing on the need to Accelerate Action, this event emphasises the importance of taking swift and decisive steps to achieve gender equality.
Our speakers, who represent a range of diverse characteristics, will speak for 10 minutes each on how they, from their own unique perspective, accelerate action toward equality – some just focussing on gender, others on more intersectional approaches. Building on the success of many past years of fantastic Institute of Gender Studies and Diversity Festival International Women’s Day collaborations, we know this will be another great event.
