We are delighted to announce that the ‘Empowerment Workshop’ with Karen Kelsky from The Professor Is In, has been rescheduled and will now take place on Friday 25th October 2024.
Karen will be delivering her 2-hour workshop on empowerment exclusively for UCD College of Science Assistant Professors from 1:30 to 3:30pm. The workshop will cover areas including managing power dynamics and building confidence to address difficult topics – i.e. identifying sexual harassment (and its structural embeddedness within academia) and dealing with it both at individual and institutional scales, but also wider issues of women’s challenges in academia, and role playing of methods of setting firm boundaries, recognising the wide range of disempowering situations, and learning to trust one’s own instincts.
Everyone is welcome to register and attend, although registration will be limited. We encourage those who identify as under-represented or minoritised in the College of Science to attend, and will allocate places to those who identify as underrepresented or minoritised first.
A sandwich lunch will also be offered from 12:30 – 1:15pm before the workshop starts for those who register.
