GEARING Roles project's second annual conference will be organized by Sabancı University Gender and Women's Studies Center of Excellence on November 9-10-11 under the title "Gender and Leadership in Higher Education and Research". As Leadership is one of the key areas we work on as we design and implement Gender Equality Plans (GEPs), we hope to discover what leadership with a gender equality perspective means from academic and civil society perspectives. Throughout the conference we will bring together feminist civil society leaders from Turkey, GEP implementing university representatives, and higher education and research institution leaders from around Europe. The conference will take place with online panels, roundtable discussions and a digital activism workshop for university students. By organizing this conference as the GEARING Roles project, we aim to create a space for knowledge and experience exchange for a better understanding of what leadership for gender equality should look like.
