Summer School
Since 2017, the Centre for Gender, Identity, and Subjectivity (CGIS), based in the History Faculty at University of Oxford, has collaborated with the Centre for Gender History (CGH) at the University of Glasgow in organising an annual summer school.
These informal one-day workshops are designed to share the findings of on-going research by graduate and early career researchers, and to enable conversations, collaboration and mutual support between the two universities. The summer school alternates between Glasgow and Oxford, and we are looking forward to the next event in 2020!
CGIS-CGH Autumn Colloquium on Intersubjectivity
Seminar Room at TORCH (The Oxford Research Centre in the Humanities), Woodstock Rd, Oxford OX2 6GG
The CGIS-CGH Autumn Colloquium (formerly known as “Summer School”) will take place on Monday 11 November 2019. This year's theme is Intersubjectivity.
This colloquium explores the meanings and opportunities offered by work that explores intersubjectivity, gender and selfhood. We have an exciting programme of short papers for the workshop from researchers at Oxford and Glasgow.
To find out more about the event, read a report by Rozen Whitworth (Oxford) published by the CGIS blog.

On 6 June 2018 the Summer School organised jointly by Oxford's Centre for Gender, Identity, and Subjectivity and Glasgow's Centre for Gender History was held at University of Glasgow.
The 2018 theme was Subjectivity, designed to build on recent historical research that has explored the meanings and opportunities offered by exploring subjectivity, identity, gender and selfhood. Postgraduate and early career researchers from both universities presented 20 minute papers on on-going research at our annual interdisciplinary summer workshop.
On 8 June 2017, CGIS hosted the first summer school between the Centre for Gender History at University of Glasgow and the Centre for Gender, Identity, and Subjectivity at Oxford. This one-day workshop on the theme of ‘Gender & Inequality’ was led by Lyndal Roper and Alex Shepard. Graduate students and early career researchers from both universities spoke about their work in a supportive and friendly environment.
