Education for Women's Liberation, Panel 2: Shereen Benjamin (UCL, 4 February 2023)

Panel 2: Teaching about sex and gender in schools #Ed4WomensLib The DfE guidance in 2021 achieved a long-held feminist goal of compulsory Relationships and Sex Education (RSE) inclusive of sexual orientation, as well as wider issues of intimate partner violence and coercive control. At the same time, there is a widespread programme of outreach into schools by proponents of ideas of innate gender identity and that sex is a spectrum, often taught under the wider remit of equalities or inclusion. What would a truly feminist RSE look like? This session was chaired by Michelle Shipworth, Associate Professor in Energy and Social Sciences, UCL Energy Institute Speakers included Michele Moore Professor of Inclusive Education, Northumbria University. Co-Edited the ground- breaking book Transgender Children and Young People, Born in Your Own Body and Shereen Benjamin Lecturer in Primary Education, Edinburgh University This panel was part of Education for Women's Liberation, a day of feminist thought and women’s activism, organised by UCL Women’s Liberation SIG and WPUK. Building on the highly successful Women’s Liberation 2020 conference, the conference brought together feminist activists, students, academics, writers, politicians and women’s organisations. Focusing on education in feminism and women’s lives, the conference addressed interconnected themes including: women’s voices in education; sexual harassment in schools and universities; the history of women’s access to education in local and global contexts; the ways in which women’s entrance into education and research has changed workplaces and academic disciplines; the impact of gendered stereotypes in educational spaces, and sex and relationship education in schools.
