[cid:6164267014-1]
We would like to remind you that registration will be closing soon for the The 15th Annual International Symposium on Women and Education<http://www.oxfordroundtable.com/index.php/view/Sessions-Item/id/173> during the dates of March 17 - March 21, 2013 at Brasenose College in the University of Oxford, Oxford, England. Brasenose College is one of the thirty-eight colleges that form the University of Oxford and was founded in 1509. We are pleased to invite you to become a member of this Round Table. Membership is limited to approximately thirty-five (35) interdisciplinary scholars who have a particular interest in this subject.
Alternatively, we are also hosting a few other sessions in 2013 that may be of interest to you:
March 10 - 14, 2013 - Childhood Education<http://www.oxfordroundtable.com/index.php/view/Sessions-Item/id/170>
July 28 - Aug 1, 2013 - Critical Public Issues<http://www.oxfordroundtable.com/index.php/view/Sessions-Item/id/174>

Aug 4 - 8, 2013 - Health, Aging and Nutrition<http://www.oxfordroundtable.com/index.php/view/Sessions-Item/id/176>
Aug 4 - 8, 2013 - General Education<http://www.oxfordroundtable.com/index.php/view/Sessions-Item/id/177>
Fifteen years ago, a highly successful Round Table was specifically designed to explore women and education. You are invited and encouraged to make a presentation and to provide a paper on a relevant aspect of the topic, however your participation as a member of the Round Table is not contingent upon presenting and you can serve on a panel or as a discussion leader. Papers presented at the Round Table may be subsequently submitted for publication in the Forum, a journal of the Oxford Round Table. Papers considered for publication in the Forum are evaluated by peer reviewers as to technical and substantive quality and for potential to make a significant contribution to new knowledge in the field.
Members of the Oxford Round Table have access to an array of academic, cultural and social resources, including the Oxford Union Debating Society, colleges and halls of Oxford dating back to 1204, museums, theatres, bookstores, college chapels, river boating, literary pubs, political clubs and may, on recommendation, become official readers of the venerable Bodleian Library of the University, founded by Duke Humphrey circa 1440 and refounded by Sir Thomas Bodley 1602. A free afternoon and evening will be available on Tuesday for independent travel to London (one hour south of Oxford), Stratford-upon-Avon, Bath, Stonehenge, Salisbury, Cambridge or many of the other cultural sights in England.
