Join us for the 2024 Women in Leadership event, building on the success of the 2023 sell out event. Reflecting on the learnings from the rich conversations from the 2023 event, we will be including a discussion on eco-stewardship, the language of leadership and will focus on intersectionality and non-binary/trans/+ gender identities in leadership.
This key member event offer keynote speakers, panel discussions and break out workshops with fellow HE peers.
Session 1: Compassionate leadership and Eco-stewardship
This session will focus on eco-stewardship and ideas of cohesion and sustainability. We’ll discuss how we embed the narratives of ecological stewardship into personal practice, institutional practice and community. We’ll also consider the concept of stewardship of place, a collaborative approach to support our community.
Session 2: Women in Design
"Why female creative energy is vital to build a better, fairer and more balanced society and world?”
Chrissy Levett will share learnings on what Creative Conscience has learnt and observed over the last 10 years. Our panel will discuss how we can take action to empower women and girls across the world with creative thinking.
Session 3: Gender identity in Leadership
This session will focus on advancing equality and promoting fair and inclusive practice within art and design HE institutions in relation to gender identity and expression. The panel will consider how institutions can move from reductive narratives around gender identity and focus on supporting trans and non-binary colleagues within HE, the process of unlearning and learning, and why LGBTQ+ leadership matters.
Breakout sessions:
- Research
- Technical
- Collaborative Partnerships
- Gender identities
