We hold study days in three parts
of the region, Bristol, Glamorgan, Cardiff and Exeter. These are open to
everyone to attend. Speakers are in the main post-graduates and
researchers in women's history without an established
institutional base. Established researchers also give work in progress
papers. Study days provide a forum for discussion
and an opportunity to gain feedback on work in progress in a
supportive and unthreatening atmosphere.
