Feminisms In Public at Manchester Metropolitan University invite PhD and Early Career
Researchers across multiple disciplines and institutions to a Meet and Greet at 70 Oxford
Street.

The event is an opportunity to connect with like-minded researchers, network and learn
about the breadth and scope of feminist research currently being undertaken across the
North West. We are interested in attracting participants who share our interest in the
challenges of meaningfully involving various publics in our research. The aim of our network
is to organise a series of events to engage the public in current gender, sexuality and
feminist research across the North West.

The Meet and Greet event has been designed to be accessible and empowering. It will be
structured in three segments devised to open up non-hierarchical alternatives to traditional
academic conference and seminar formats:

1. 2-3 minute talks: each participant will give a brief introduction to the main themes
and motivations of their research.

2. Academic speed dating: each pair will have 4 minutes to discuss their research
interests and engagement with feminist research. There will be a tea and coffee
break halfway through this session.

3. Discussion: there will be three talking points to guide an all-inclusive discussion of

the challenges of meaningfully involving various publics in feminist research.

There will be snacks and drinks at the end of the event to allow a chance for everyone to talk
more informally.

The event is FREE to attend, however places are limited. Please register at:
