Herstory: Weaving Authentic Academic Narratives - in-person event
Choose a morning session (09:30–12:30) or afternoon session (13:30–16:30), with lunch optional.
On Monday 9th March join us to celebrate International Women’s Day (Sunday 8 March). This IWD we are spotlighting women’s voices and stories with a day of reflection, practice, and conversation for women in academia and research.

In an informal setting participants will explore together how to communicate who they are and what they do across multiple settings — from CVs and funding applications to public talks, online profiles, and everyday conversations — without losing coherence or compromising their values. The 3-hour workshop will run twice during the day so participants have the option to attend in the morning or the afternoon and stay for lunch if they choose.
