School of Health and Social Care Seminar Series 2010-2011, University of Lincoln
This themed seminar series intends to bring together scholars, practitioners and activists who are working with feminist Intersectionality theory and feminist ethics in healthcare. The seminars will illustrate how intersectional approaches to healthcare can make an important contribution to knowledge and practice, which is crucial if quality improvement is to promote greater equity of healthcare provision. The speakers will be looking at theoretical, institutional, methodological and ‘case study’ approaches that speak to the multiplicity of voices who access/provide healthcare.
