The 10th Annual South Australian Women’s and Gender Studies Public Lecture is an annual event that draws together academics, community organisations and community members. Each year a leading researcher speaks on an issue that is timely and of interest beyond the academy.
We know that older women will enter into retirement with 40% less superannuation than men. But how does this happen, and why will it continue to happen?
Professor Kathleen Riach will move beyond the well-known statistical accounts of gender and ageing to explore the complex cultural, structural and political reasons why women continue to become unequal and forgotten members of our society as they grow older.
Limited spots available. RSVP essential.
