This roundtable brings together feminist scholars from different<br>
disciplines and career stages to discuss the embodied and affective<br>
experience of academic labour at a time of intense (re)configurations<br>
of academic cultures and working practices. We are particularly<br>
interested in analysing the ?toxic? (Gill, 2010) and ?careless?<br>
(Lynch, 2010) aspects of those cultures and working practices, and<br>
their impact on our experiences of research and teaching, on<br>
individual and collective subjectivities, on our bodies and on<br>
practices of care (of/for ourselves, others and the community).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
This initiative is co-hosted by the Centre for Interdisciplinary<br>
Gender Studies (University of Leeds) and the European Network<br>
GenderAct (<a href="http://www.gender.hu-berlin.de/internationales/projekte/generationaltransmission" target="_blank">http://www.gender.hu-berlin.de/internationales/projekte/generationaltransmission</a>).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The event is open and free, and no registration is required.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Before the public roundtable, we will also be hosting a small<br>
reading/discussion group with the speakers (from 2.00 ? 4.00). If you<br>
would like to attend this event (which is also free), you will need to<br>
register by emailing Maria do Mar Pereira at <a href="mailto:m.d.m.pereira@leeds.ac.uk">m.d.m.pereira@leeds.ac.uk</a><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
We hope you can join us for what promises to be a lively and<br>
thought-provoking discussion!<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
All the best,<br>
<br>
