Forthcoming seminars and conferences
Report launch December 12th 2025 – City, University of London (4-7pm)
Join us at an event to launch our final report from the ‘L-earning: Rethinking Young Women’s Working Lives’ project – a major national ESRC-funded study exploring young women’s earliest experiences of work, including paid work while studying, and how these shape gender inequalities across the working life course.
As well as presentations of key findings from the research team, the event will include a panel discussion with speakers including Professor Jo Littler (Goldsmiths University), Alice Arkwright (TUC) and Ashley Austin (Young Women’s Trust).
After the talks there will be refreshments and time for informal networking, from 5:30 until 7pm.
You can register for a place on the event page.
