Symposium News

March 2022

The Oxford Women’s Leadership Symposium has been postponed from December 2021 until 17-19 March 2022.

Abstract submission and registration are open for all 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.

"Many thanks for an amazing experience."

"The experience far exceeded my expectation."

"I found all the presentations very interesting. It was a great opportunity to hear different perspectives on women's issues. The discussion after my presentation was very enriching and I will take it into account in my further research."
