The WiSET group are planning our biggest Campbell Lecture so far on Wednesday 19 March 2014. We have hopefully secured not one, but TWO inspirational speakers.

First we have invited Dame Professor Athene Donald DBE FRS, Professor of Experimental Physics at University of Cambridge, Chair of the Royal Society’s Education Committee, and long-time champion of women in science to address us.

In addition – in a break with tradition, but in the spirit of inclusion and honouring diversity, we have also asked a man to take part in the Campbell Lecture, namely Professor Curt Rice, Curt is also a champion of women in academia and strong proponent of gender balance in higher education.

We think this double bill for Campbell will be amazing and we hope to see you there.

More details to follow – so do keep an eye on the SUSSED WiSET website.
