UALL Work and Learning Network: Network News: June 2021
Welcome to the June special edition of the newsletter.
Editorial
This month we focus on the issue of EDI and in particular the ways in which it relates to work and learning practice. We are formally inviting all of our readers to attend our virtual colloquium, which is taking place on the 30th of June 2021.
Spotlight
Dr Jenny Rodriguez
This month we are spotlighting Jenny Rodriguez as a strident new light in work and learning and its potential towards equality.
Jenny Rodriguez is Senior Lecturer in Employment Studies at the Human Resource Management, Employment Studies & Law Subject Area Group at Alliance Manchester Business School. Prior to joining Manchester, she worked at the Dept of HRM at the University of Strathclyde Business School and at Newcastle University Business School. Dr Rodriguez's research focuses on intersectional inequality in work and organisations, and the interplay between identity, work and regulation. She is particularly interested in the transnational experiences of skilled migrant women.

AdvanceHE Athena Swan Charter
“The Athena Swan Charter is a framework which is used across the globe to support and transform gender equality within higher education (HE) and research. Established in 2005 to encourage and recognise commitment to advancing the careers of women in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) employment, the Charter is now being used across the globe to address gender equality more broadly, and not just barriers to progression that affect women. Advance HE members can apply for institutional and departmental Athena Swan awards recognising their gender equality efforts."
