Captured Moments: Highlights from the Workshop

Gender and Education in Chinese Contexts: Issues, Challenges and Possibilities

The co-editors in chief from the Gender and Education journal are organising a 2-day event in collaboration with CUHK’s Gender Studies Programme. These 2 days will encompass a series of scaffolded activities that will build towards a special issue of Gender and Education that focuses upon Chinese Feminisms and Gender and Education research.

Attendance at this event is by invitation, and will include a variety of events that bring feminist scholars together and invites them to think and work towards building the field of gender and education scholarship.

The event will include featured presentations, a responsive roundtable and a workshop run by the current co-editors in Chief of the Gender and Education journal (Scimago Q1 for Education and Gender Studies, h-index 72). This workshop will launch a call for a special issue of Gender and Education that focuses upon Chinese Feminisms in Education. The workshop will also outline publishing in and reviewing for the journal. The new co-editors in chief, Professor Mindy Blaise (Centre for People, Place, & Planet, Edith Cowan University, Australia), Associate Professor Emily Gray (RMIT University, Australia) and Associate Professor Jacqueline Ullman (Centre for Educational Research, Western Sydney University, Australia), are keen to reorient the journal to the Asia-Pacific region and to provide more publishing and reviewing opportunities for scholars in the region. This event is the first of several planned outreach programmes that will be held across the Asia-Pacific during the tenure of the new editors in chief.
