Opening Doors Conference: 20th October 2015 – Update

July 29, 2015 Leave a Comment

The Institute of Physics (IOP) has done a lot of work around the issue of why girls do or do not choose physics at A-level. As their work has progressed, they have realised that the factors determining this choice are connected to much broader issues than the nature of the subject and their most recent activities have been related to gender stereotyping more generally. Their most recent project, Opening Doors, had no subject emphasis and instead focussed on whole school culture. They are hosting a conference in October during which they will launch their report based on school visits and bring together education specialists and policy makers from a wide range of subject backgrounds to facilitate discussions about gender in education.

Conference


Bringing education and subject specialists together with social scientists, psychologists and neuroscientists, the conference aims to start a discussion about current research into gender and education. 
The conference, chaired by Dame Barbara Stocking, will open with an introduction from Caroline Dinenage, Minister for Women, Equalities and Family Justice at the Ministry of Justice and the launch of our Opening Doors report. Professor Louise Archer, Dr Stephanie Burnett Heyes, Dr Gijsbert Stoet will discuss current research in the fields of sociology, neuroscience and psychology. An afternoon panel discussion will give delegates the opportunity to ask questions about research, current practice in schools and the Opening Doors report.
