Join us for this panel event, discussing some of the key policy issues pertaining women and work: from sexual harassment in the workplace, to the “motherhood penalty”, to the way women in employment (and women “who quit”) are represented in the media and policy discourse. 

The event launches the publication of the new  issue “”, edited by Almudena Sevilla.  Find out more about the issue that explores more emerging challenges and the evolving landscape of gender research, including perspectives from law, communications, health and social policy, gender studies and economics.
