Contribution

This workshop will be led by three members of the Gender and Education Network (Network 33). The aim of the workshop is to introduce the Gender and Education Network, its goals ambitions and work to date. It is for ECR's interested in the work of the network and wondering whether to join the network. 

After giving an overview of the work of the network we will lead a workshop on the role and importance of feminist theory to European Educational Research.  Each of the workshop facilitators will very briefly introduce a feminist theory they have used in their own research and will identify and concept from it that has been important to them and that they think the audience will find helpful to think with.  The concepts will be drawn from a Feminist Approach to Critical Realism (Abbas), Black Feminism (Showumni) and Feminist New Materialism (Taylor).  

Participants will be encouraged to discuss the concepts and they will be given a choice of scenario's and objects that they will be encouraged to interpret using one or more of the three presented concepts.
