The Gender Research Seminars offer academics and postgraduate students an opportunity to present their work-in-progress to a multi-disciplinary audience interested in gender, in a friendly and informal atmosphere. Seminars are held on specified days during Michaelmas and Lent terms and everyone is welcome to attend.

Unless indicated otherwise seminars will take place in S1, Alison Richard Building, 7 West Road, Cambridge CB3 9DP and online via Zoom, if you would like to attend in-person no registration is required. If you would like to attend online please register in advance via Eventbrite.

The seminars are organised and chaired by Sigal Spigel. If you would like more information about this series, or are interested in presenting your work at a Gender Research Seminar, please email Sigal at sis22@cam.ac.uk
