In celebration of International Women’s Day on 8 March, MIC will host a number of online events throughout the week from 8-12 March.
From roundtable discussions to public lectures and more, MIC will celebrate the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women, while also examining the challenges facing women in today’s society. In light of this year’s theme of #ChooseToChallenge, these conversations will explore ways in which we can all challenge gender bias.
Organised by Edel Foster, Athena SWAN Project Manager, and Dr Jade Dillon, lecturer in the Department of English Language and Literature at MIC, the discussions throughout the week-long event will provide the public with different perspectives on topical issues such as Mother and Baby Homes and the impact of COVID-19 on women. In addition, conversations on the challenges facing women will explore sexual awareness, self-identity and stigmas surrounding the female body.
