Rewley House Research Seminar Series - Seminar 4: 'Gender'

Three speakers from separate disciplines explore the ways in which their research methodologies and experiences intersect with the concept and impact of gender.

Friday 2 November 2012
Rewley House, 1 Wellington Square

Gender relations shape our everyday interactions at work, on the street and in the home. Our speakers cover a wide range of topics, from historical, legal and therapeutic perspectives.

• Frances Richardson: Women’s role in Welsh hill farming
• Nazila Ghanea-Hercock: Gender and human rights
• Alistair Ross: Gender issues in therapy and spirituality - results from a small research study

The seminar is chaired by Professor Linda Scott, the DP World Chair for Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the Saïd Business School, University of Oxford. Professor Scott is best known for her creation of the concept of the Double X Economy – a perspective which describes the global economy of women in both the developed and developing world, and the roles of women not only as consumers, but as investors, donors and workers.
