The Department of Culture, Media and Creative Industries’ Professor of Social and Cultural Analysis Rosalind Gill will be speaking at Manchester Business School on 5 June 2013, as part of a day conference concerned with the position of women in academia. Her talk will draw on her much-read article on the ‘hidden injuries’ of the neoliberal University, and a forthcoming paper in the Journal of Cultural Economy.  
This event, organised by Marianna Fotaki, highlights the continued inequalities in higher education in Europe, where only 15 % of professorships are held by women, and women are disproportionately to be found in the lowest paid and most precarious parts of the Academy.
