Reflections from the PSA Women & Politics Annual Conference 2025

This June, the Gender and Inequalities (GAIN) Centre at the University of Southampton had the pleasure of hosting the Political Studies Association (PSA) Women and Politics Annual Conference 2025. Taking place on the 17th and 18th of June in our Sir James Matthews Building, the event brought together scholars working across disciplines to explore current challenges and developments in gender and politics.

With the theme “Troubled Times: Gender and Politics in the 21st Century,” the conference focused on understanding contemporary backlashes against gender equality, as well as the strategies of resistance and activism that continue to push for change. The conference was jointly organised by GAIN and the PSA Women and Politics specialist group, reflecting our shared commitment to research that addresses gendered inequalities in politics and society.
