Dear Colleague,

Please find below an invitation to a ground-breaking interdisciplinary conference on gender in education. As well as launching our Opening Doors report, the Conference brings together research experts in social science, psychology and neuroscience to explain what these subjects can tell us about the gendering of some academic subjects. The Conference will be opened by the Equalities Minister, Caroline Dinenage.

I would be grateful if you could bring this conference to the attention of anyone you think might be interested.

Regards

Peter

Opening Doors Conference - An interdisciplinary conference on gender in education.

Presented by the IOP and GEO, this conference aims to bring together practitioners and academics to discuss the important issue of gender and education.  As you may be aware, the Institute has done a lot of work on gender issues in STEM subjects. The factors determining student choices are connected to much broader issues and our most recent project Opening Doors, funded by the GEO, had no such subject emphasis and instead focussed on whole school culture. The conference will be chaired by Dame Barbara Stocking and will launch the findings of our project. This will be followed by reviews of current research in the fields of social science, neuroscience and psychology from Professor Louise Archer, Dr Stephanie Burnett Heyes and Dr Gijsbert Stoet and an afternoon panel discussion.

Date: 20th October 10am - 4pm
Location: 8 Northumberland Ave, London, WC2N 5BY
Cost: £60

Delegates at the conference will represent a range of learned associations, academics, educators and policy makers. We would like to invite you and your colleagues to join us at the conference. Those interested in attending the event should visit www.eventsforce.net/OpeningDoors<http://www.eventsforce.net/OpeningDoors><http://www.eventsforce.net/OpeningDoors> for more details and registration.
