In this working lunch we will discuss the blatant and subtle ways in which gender inequality is manifest in Higher Education and the Humanities specifically . The Royal Historical Society’s 2015 report ‘Gender Equality and Historians in UK Higher Education’, [http://5hm1h4aktue2uejbs1hsqt31.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/RHSGenderEqualityReport-Jan-15.pdf], will serve as the starting point for our discussion but participants are encouraged to bring other reports or articles that highlight examples of inequality in their own discipline. We will conclude the session by creating a list of achievable action items that could be implemented at Oxford to address inequality in our own academic communities.
