Centre Launch

We now have the plans finalized for our 'official' launch event for the Centre on Wednesday 10 October 2012.  

The launch gives us an opportunity to introduce the Centre’s aims and activities, and to introduce the ways in which the outcomes of our research have an impact on a range of policies and practices. It also showcases some of our research, featuring a range of papers from staff attached to the Centre. The Centre also provides a focal point for developing research networks and we are delighted to welcome Dr Matthew Ball from Queensland University of Technology to help us launch the event. Other speakers include Dr Simon Cross, Professor Martin O'Shaugnessy, Dr Joanne Hollows and Professor Patrick Williams.

The event includes papers on TV, change and continuity in party political appeals to women; film, debt and governance; representations of Palestinians; and heteronormativity, homonormativity and the government of intimate partner violence in LGBTQ communities.

The launch takes place on Wednesday 10 October (2.00-5.00pm) in CELS001 on the Clifton Campus of NTU. Although there are a limited number of places, if you are interested in joining us, please email Joanne Hollows if you would like to attend.
