We are pleased to invite you and your institution to participate in the Oxford Women’s Leadership Symposium 5 and 6 December, 2013.

The Symposium will be held at The Old Library in the Oxford University Church of St Mary. Constructed in 1320, The Old Library is the first university (as opposed to college) building in Oxford and therefore uniquely important; this is where the nascent University began.

You are invited to present a paper on an aspect of Women’s Studies, or you may wish to attend as an observer or panel member. This meeting is a sequel to an earlier session held in London in 2012.

Papers presented at the meeting will be subsequently peer reviewed by external readers for possible inclusion in Symposium Books or in sponsored academic journals

The Symposium is interdisciplinary in nature and seeks to cover a broad reach of women’s leadership issues in both the public and private sectors. The expectation is that much of the discourse will be concerned with cultural, religious, social, and economic conditions of women and the initiatives that may be most effective in the remediation of the various forms of gender discrimination.
