Women's Leadership Symposium in Oxford

We invite you to participate in the Oxford Women's Leadership Symposia

Abstract submission and registration are open for ALL 2020 sessions.
We review abstracts on a rolling basis and send notifications within ten days of submission.

You are invited to give a talk on an aspect of women's studies, or you may wish to attend as an observer or panel member. We also welcome poster proposals. If you would like to present a paper, submit a brief abstract for review by the Programme Committee. Papers presented will be subsequently peer-reviewed by external readers for possible inclusion in Symposium books or as sponsored journal articles.
