The Worldwide Association of Women Journalists and Writers are bringing their 23rd Congress to the South East for the first time. There is a four-day programme of events and the final day, Friday 9th November, will be hosted by the University of Kent on the Medway Campus. The theme of this day is ‘Diversity beyond Gender’ and will feature a welcome address by our VC, Karen Cox at 13.30, a panel discussion, keynote speaker and will conclude with a drinks reception. This event is free and open to everyone to attend, as are the events on the first three days of the Congress, which will take place in London and are being hosted by the BBC, City University and Google News Labs. There is a breakdown of the full programme details and you can register here.
The Athena SWAN team is proud to be a sponsor and to work with Laura Garcia, Lecturer in Television and Multimedia Journalism at the Centre for Journalism in welcoming the Congress to Kent.
