Join Dr. Jenna Ashton, Mahboobeh Rajabi, Nusrat Ahmed as they discuss the theme, "Accelerating Action" with a particular focus on the role of heritage, arts, and culture for accelerating women's equality and social justice. This will be discussed in context of the UN's latest update report on the lack of progress around SDG5 on gender equality and women's empowerment, and the increasing threats to women's bodily autonomy and implementation of discriminatory legislation.

Jenna's latest book 'Handbook of Heritage and Gender' is published that week, which has very related topics that will be discussed on gender and the heritage sector; the role of heritage, arts, and culture for accelerating women's equality and social justice.

Speakers:

• Mahboobeh Rajabi, artist
• Nusrat Ahmed, Lead Curator for South Asia Gallery, Manchester Museum

Hosted by: Dr Jenna Ashton, Senior Lecturer in Heritage Studies, University of Manchester.
