‘Rethinking Representation: Gender, Power and Politics in the UK' - Dr Meryl Kenny

This event took place online on Tuesday 24th May 2022

To help celebrate 50 years of Birkbeck Politics, this year's CBPL Annual Academic Lecture looks at the issue of gender, power and politics with a lecture from one of the UK's foremost academics in this area, Dr Meryl Kenny. Meryl's research interests bridge the intersection of gender politics, party politics, territorial politics, and institutional approaches to the study of politics. Her current research focuses on two main areas: gender and political recruitment, and feminist institutional theory.

Meryl Kenny is Senior Lecturer in Gender and Politics at the University of Edinburgh, Deputy Director of Learning and Teaching for the School of Social and Political Science, and Co-Director of the Centre on Constitutional Change (2021-22).
