Bringing Birmingham to You International Women's Day 2024

Join us online to hear how research at Birmingham is contributing to a more inclusive world for women. Learn how family friendly policies empower women in the workplace and benefit us all, how we can use the law to respond to gender inequality and poverty, and is prison really working for women and families caught up in the criminal justice system?

Our panel

Dr Holly Birkett, Senior Lecturer in Organizational Studies, Department of Management, College of Social Sciences. Holly is Co-Director of of the Work Inclusivity Research Centre (WIRC), and Co-Director of the Equal Parenting Project.

Dr Meghan Campbell, Reader in International Human Rights Law, Birmingham Law School. Her research explores how the international human rights system can best respond to gender inequality and poverty.

Dr Kelly Mackenzie, Research Fellow and member of the Women, Crime and Justice Research Group. Kelly’s research interests are primarily socio-legal and span both law and criminology.

Our chairperson

Professor Catherine Mangan, Deputy Pro Vice-Chancellor Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Catherine has a background as a policy maker and practitioner in public service and has a particular interest in developing research which delivers change within the public sector.

Please note while this event will touch on international law, the focus will be on UK law and policy.

This event is FREE to attend
