FYI...Stefanie ------- Forwarded Message Follows ------- The Australian Women's Research Centre is delighted to announce the first of the the 1998 Seminar Series presentations: "International Feminist Perspectives on Women and Social Class" Presented by Pat Mahony The seminar will begin with an account of how Christine Zmroczek and Pat Mahony became interested in Women and Social Class as a political project and how their edited book _Class Matters_ helped to clarify understanding of the social construction of 'working classness'. _Class Matters_ also raised further questions which will be the main subject of the seminar: how class 'works' in diverse geographical and cultural locations, how class discriminations are actively taught and the way that new technologies and communications render class unstable. Pat Mahony is Professor of Education at Roehampton Institute London. She has worked for many years in the areas of equal opportunities and teacher education and is currently engaged in a number of research projects exploring the impact and significance of government policy in these areas. Her books include _Schools for the Boys?_; _Learning our Lines_ (edited with Carol Jones); _Promoting Quality and Equality in Schools_ (edited with Ruth Frith); _Changing Schools: Some International Perspectives on Working with Girls and Boys_; _Class Matters_ (edited with Christine Zmroczek); _Reconstructing Teaching within Re-invented Government_ (forthcoming with Ian Hextall) and _International Feminist Perspectives on Women and Social Class_ (forthcoming with Christine Zmroczek).
