Women’s Stories: Law

20 February 2025 - 17:30

Please not this event is now taking place on 20 February, rather than 6 February.

The 2024/2025 academic year marks 50 years since Hertford became one of the first five traditionally all-male colleges to go co-educational. To celebrate the occasion we are curating an exciting programme of events.

Join us for a lecture series dedicated to discovering diverse and inspiring stories told by Hertford women. Women’s Stories is a thought-provoking series that brings together academics, students and alumni to share their insights on the multifaceted experiences of women across different fields, cultures and histories.

This series is designed for anyone passionate about understanding and appreciating the rich tapestry of female perspectives. Whether you’re a student, staff, alum or none of the above, come be part of a meaningful conversation that honours the power of women’s stories.

 

This panel will focus on Law
