Network Old Members’ Activities The Queen’s Women’s Network has been set up to provide professional and social networking opportunities for current and Old Members, especially women. The aim is to help everyone, within and across the generations, to celebrate success, promote equality and inclusion and champion change. The Network also aims to provide career support and, in the future, to establish two-way mentoring. The events and activities have been designed and organised by Janet Hayes (née Dyson; Modern Languages, 1981), Judith Bufton (née Leeming; Classics and Modern Languages, 1979), Jane Welsh (née Chapman; PPE, 1979), Catherine Palmer (Jurisprudence, 1993) and Anna Howard (née Parks; Modern Languages, 1995). Our thanks also go to the other Old Members who have provided speakers and venues and facilitated events, including Catherine Palmer at Joseph, Mark Evans (Modern Languages, 1977) at RSM and Kate Cooper (née Sheen; English and Modern Languages, 1999) and Holly Pirnie (née Insley; Jurisprudence, 2000) at Freshfields. We have been delighted with the response to the network which has been very successful in its overall aims, particularly in providing networking opportunities for Old Members in London and the South East. Attendees at the four in-person events have come from all generations of Queen’s women as well as a handful of Queen’s men. Between 40 and 70 people have attended each event. Topics have included: • the Network launch, when executive coach Mia Forbes Pirie spoke of finding and appreciating our unique talent and then fitting out (not in); • Nicola Waterworth (Modern History, 1998) leading a discussion on the challenges and opportunities for women in politics from her study of Women, Power, Politics: what’s changed in 100 years for the British Council; • Janet Hayes speaking on her MSc research into women’s journeys to leadership and the concept of ‘having it all’, followed by a panel discussion with Nishi Grose (née Somaiya; PPE, 1998), April Burt (DPhil in Environmental Research, 2017) and Freshfields Partner, Caroline Stroud. The two-year anniversary of the launch of the Network was marked by a conversation (pictured) with the College’s first female Provost, Dr Claire Craig, and a dinner at the University Women’s Club where views were sought on the future of the Network. See the Queen’s YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/queenscollegeox) for a video of the conversation with Claire. 94 The Queen’s College | College Record 2020
The Network’s first online event will be held in September 2020. By hosting this on Zoom, we will enable many more people to attend, irrespective of location. The event will focus on how volunteering can support career progression, illustrated by Alison Sanders (née Spargo; PPE, 1979) speaking on her experience as a Magistrate with her colleague, Jane Macaulay. Building on the experience to date, we plan to have at least one formal meeting a year in London, plus one informal get-together. However, we are also very keen to run events outside London and so, where possible, will host our own event when the Old Members’ Office starts to travel again around the UK and possibly more widely. If you would like to run your own event locally, please contact the Old Members’ Office. Old Members’ Activities We also hope to draw on the wealth of career and life experience of our Old Members by setting up a two-way mentoring scheme both between Old Members and with current students. There is plenty of enthusiasm amongst Network members; we just need the means to make it easy to organise and run. Again, please contact the Old Members’ Office if you have any ideas on how to help with this or on the Network more generally. We look forward to seeing you at one of our events! In summary, it has been a fun and busy year of celebration and commemoration: recording memories of 1979 and looking at what the decision to admit women has meant for College life; finding out what 40 years of women at Queen’s looks like and meeting lots of them; and creating a legacy to sustain and develop those connections. Thanks to the many Queen’s women who have helped to make the 40 th Anniversary such an enjoyable and successful occasion and contributed to the establishment of the Network. Final thanks must go to Lord Blake and the Governing Body for inviting women into the Queen’s family 40 years ago and to Paul and Alison Madden and Claire Craig for recognising the importance of this milestone in College history and celebrating it with us. Thank you to Judith Bufton, Wendy Burt, Janet Hayes, Lauriane Anderson Mair, Elizabeth Pilkington, Jackie Rolf and Alison Sanders for writing this article.
