The Feminine Voice

This workshop will focus on what it means to speak and write as a woman in the University setting – in classrooms, on reading lists, in departmental meetings, and in academic conferences. Our experienced panel will offer their thoughts as starting points for our discussion before a practical workshop with vocal coach Fran Montignani Rees. The event is open to all women in the University but particularly PhDs and ECRs.
