  • Gender Equality: 40 years on!


    This podcast series introduces the work and activism of Birmingham based women. The research project conducted by Dr. Annette Naudin investigates women’s contributions to addressing gender equality in Birmingham, UK. The Barbara Webster Collection was the starting point for a research project which included an exhibition, roundtable discussion and a series of oral history podcasts produced by Dr. Siobhán Stevenson.


    The research aims to make historical links between current concerns with diversity and equality in the arts, and activities linked to the Women's Liberation Movement from the mid 1980s, Birmingham, UK. The project explores a newly acquired collection of archival materials, donated by Barbara Webster, head of the Women's Unit (1984-87) at Birmingham City Council and highlights the significance of the work done by women in the 1980s, ensuring that their voices and legacy continues to be heard. The podcasts and exhibition reflect on gender equality then and now, by considering how past voices, campaigns and activism helps us challenge contemporary inequalities.


    The research project is funded by the British Academy Leverhulme Small Grant Scheme based on the Barbara Webster Collection.
