Journal publishing workshop with Ghiwa Sayegh

WT WK 8: Wednesday 11 March 12-1.30pm, Zoom

Ghiwa Sayegh is the editor of Kohl: a Journal for Body and Gender Research, which is a queer, radical, open-source publication from the South, with an emphasis on West Asia, and North Africa. We’re really excited that they have agreed to run a workshop as part of our Enhance programme on the experience of founding and running this journal in times of global crises, ongoing genocides, and anti-Muslim, anti-queer, anti-trans and anti-feminist discourse and policy. Exploring questions of queer anti-colonial, collective praxis, funding, desire and the importance of tarot, Sayegh will provide unique insight into the nuts and bolts as well as the vision that are needed to sustain a publication like Kohl as a political and intellectual project for our times. For a taste of the journal, click here for the latest issue, ‘Queer (Non)Futures’. Sign up via the student newsletter.

How to keep hold of your values in a tough job market

WT WK 8: Wednesday 11 March 3-5pm

In this interactive workshop, students from MSc Media and Communications, MSc Gender Studies and MSc Human Rights and Politics are invited to explore how to bring a values-based approach to the current tough job market. We'll consider what shapes our fundamental values, how we make decisions, and use tools from design thinking to generate new perspectives and fresh ideas. You'll have the chance to work in small teams to learn from one others' experiences, benefit from different ideas and perspectives and learn some new techniques to shape your thinking. Sign up here.

This event will be particularly useful if you:

  • Would like to connect with and learn from students on other programmes;
  • Want to generate fresh ideas for aligning your values with job search strategy
