Celebrate Bluestocking Week!

Event Duration: 180 minutes

Now in its fourth year, the theme of Bluestocking Week 2015 is "Storylines".

Organised by the National Tertiary Education Union with the National Union of Students (NUS), Council of Postgraduate Students Association (CAPA) and campus women’s groups, each year we are adding more interesting and challenging events, ensuring there is a space and voice for women and feminism on campuses in a time when it has become increasingly difficult to raise all sorts of issues. We have to keep widening this space and ‘crossing the line’, as was our slogan in 2014, but this year we are looking to focus on who and what makes Bluestocking Week.

Bluestocking Week will celebrate what has been achieved as well as focusing our attention on what still must be overcome. We are asking women in our universities to share their experiences, to tell us what they feel is important to them, and why.

So join us on 12th August to share some bluestocking ‘yarns’; embracing both achievements and shared challenges.
