Speakers:

Prof. Mary Evans (LSE)

Dr. Sarah Amsler (University of Lincoln)

Dr. Maria Puig de la Bellacasa (University of Leicester)

Dr. Kate Hardy (University of Leeds)



Chair:

Dr. Maria do Mar Pereira (University of Leeds)



This roundtable brings together feminist scholars from different
disciplines and career stages to discuss the embodied and affective
experience of academic labour at a time of intense (re)configurations
of academic cultures and working practices. We are particularly
interested in analysing the ?toxic? (Gill, 2010) and ?careless?
(Lynch, 2010) aspects of those cultures and working practices, and
their impact on our experiences of research and teaching, on
individual and collective subjectivities, on our bodies and on
practices of care (of/for ourselves, others and the community).



This initiative is co-hosted by the Centre for Interdisciplinary
Gender Studies (University of Leeds) and the European Network
GenderAct (
http://www.gender.hu-berlin.de/internationales/projekte/generationaltransmission
).



The event is open and free, and no registration is required.



Before the public roundtable, we will also be hosting a small
reading/discussion group with the speakers (from 2.00 ? 4.00). If you
would like to attend this event (which is also free), you will need to
register by emailing Maria do Mar Pereira at m.d.m.pereira at leeds.ac.uk



We hope you can join us for what promises to be a lively and
thought-provoking discussion!



All the best,



Maria
