GEARING Roles’ second annual conference will be held November 9 – 11 – hosted online by Sabanci University.

 


 

Registration is free and available here.

 

We hope to see you there!

 


Our conference theme this year is Gender and Leadership in Higher Education and Research. The GEARING Roles project is designing, implementing and monitoring 6 Gender Equality Plans at European higher education and research institutions – domains where gender equality in leadership and career paths is increasing, but still has not been achieved. The conference will build on lessons learned thus far in the project, and explore new directions in current research on inclusion, leadership, and challenges.

Dr. Mangala Subramaniam

The conference’s keynote speaker, Mangala Subramaniam, is Professor of Sociology and Butler Chair and Director of the Susan Bulkeley Butler Center for Leadership Excellence. In her current administrative position, she oversees all activities of the Butler Center focused on faculty. This includes offering opportunities to enhance leadership skills and professional development for faculty. Since 2017, the center’s efforts have revolved around two key strategies. The first strategy is focused on events and conferences as part of professional development and leadership and on fostering a climate of inclusion for faculty, particularly for women and underrepresented minorities. The second strategy emphasizes research and recognition that provides insights for workshops, interventions, and university policymaking in ways that will enable the success of women faculty. Her research focuses on gender and its intersections with race/ethnicity and class. She has published three gender-related books and a fourth and most recent one on environmental justice.
