Manchester Feminist Theory Network Workshops

The Case for Feminism
May 2011

The University of Manchester
Manchester Metropolitan University
Salford University

We are delighted to announce a second series of Feminist Theory Workshops entitled: The Case for Feminism. Hosted across three weeks in May, the workshops will centre on the theme of the case, exploring the relationship between feminist theory and research and examining how theory is generated from particular case studies. Each speaker will present a paper detailing their own engagement with individual cases, considering how these have informed their development of particular theoretical perspectives and analytical tools. Discussants will present responses to the paper and facilitate the workshop.

All postgraduate students and staff are welcome.

Timetable of workshops:

Wednesday 11th May 12.30-2.00 – University Place 4.212

  1. I'm not that interested in news of music or something, but I really enjoy how this guy looks like and watch this program only because of him. I'd be really happy to see him on http://www.iwantucams.com/ one day. I'm sure he'd be as hot as all people here.
