International Men’s Day Event

Tuesday 19th November 2019
Book your place to join the conversation

It is a common feature of gender equality events that most of the attendees are women so we often miss out on the male voice when discussing issues that affect us all such as work-life balance, wellbeing and workplace culture.

Last year the Athena SWAN team addressed this by surveying* our male colleagues on their experience of gender equality in the workplace. This year we are using the occasion of International Men’s Day to hold a panel and audience discussion on the key themes arising from the survey:

  • Does it feel that gender equality initiatives are targeted only at women?
  • Is there a macho culture that prevents an inclusive one?
  • What is it like being a Dad at the University?

Everyone welcome!

Date: Tuesday 19th November
Time: Teas, coffees and afternoon treats from 2.30pm and discussion from 3-4pm
Location: Grimond Lecture Theatre 3.

Book your place here and please do pass on the details to any colleagues you think may be interested.

We look forward to seeing you.
