18th Annual International Symposium on Women and Education

You are invited and encouraged to make a presentation and to provide a paper on a relevant aspect of the topic, however your participation as a member of the Round Table is not contingent upon presenting and you can serve on a panel or as a discussion leader. Papers presented at the Round Table may be subsequently submitted for publication in the Forum on Public Policy. Papers considered for publication in the Forum are evaluated by peer reviewers as to technical and substantive quality and for potential to make a significant contribution to new knowledge in the field.
 
Should you accept this invitation you will be joined on the programme by Dr. Isobel Hurst who holds a BA, Classics and English, M Phil in English Studies and a D Phil in English from the University of Oxford. Her popular book, Victorian Women Writers and the Classics was published by Oxford University Press in 2006. She has taught at the Universities of Bristol, Warwick, and Oxford, United Kingdom. Dr. Hurst is currently a Lecturer in English and Comparative Literature, Goldsmiths, University of London.
 
Members of the Round Table have access to an array of academic, cultural and social resources, including the Oxford Union Debating Society, colleges and halls of Oxford dating back to 1204, museums, theatres, bookstores, college chapels, river boating, literary pubs, political clubs and may, on recommendation, become official readers of the venerable Bodleian Library of the University, founded by Duke Humphrey circa 1440 and refounded by Sir Thomas Bodley 1602. Some locations for independent travel would include London (one hour south of Oxford), Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Cambridge or many of the other cultural sights in England.

Topics of discussion will include but are not limited to:
 
Women and the University

The conference will run from Sunday night through Wednesday morning.  We will have reception and dinners in the Olde Dining Hall on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights.  The Olde Dining Hall is where Oxford professors and students dine when the university is in session.  Lunches are provided on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday along with tea/coffee/biscuit breaks during the meeting.  You can also reserve a room in the Oxford University dormitory at Harris Manchester College where students stay during term time.  More detailed information can be found on our web site.
