Masterclass for Postgraduate students and ECRs with Professor Jill Vickers: Theorising gender, race and nation.

Professor Vickers is incoming President-Elect of the Canadian Political Science Association and co-convener of FINSA, the international research network on gender and state architectures as well as being Emeritus Chancellors' Professor at Carleton University and Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. Jill has been at the cutting edge of scholarship about gender, race, and nation for almost 40 years. A new edition of her comparative study The Politics of Race, covering Australia, Canada and the USA, appeared in 2012.

Postgraduate students and early career researchers at the ANU are invited to attend this masterclass which will focus on how states make race and how they make gender and the complex relationships between gender and nationalism. The Masterclass participants will be given two or three of pieces of Jill’s work to form the basis of the Masterclass discussion and the participants are invited to discuss how these ideas relate to their own research.

Pre-reading material will be sent to students upon enrolling.

The event includes morning tea.

How to enrol: Postgraduate students and early career researchers should send their names and a brief paragraph outlining their current research project to martina.fechner@anu.edu.au by Friday 10 May.
