The most challenging part of the workshop strategy is the sensitization aspect. Motivation in terms of equipping women in the system with conviction and confidence to take up academic leadership has gradually been accomplished as women have begun to overcome inhibitions, prioritise their jobs and professional requirements, accepted the positive aspects of ambition and achievement and learnt to network and lobby in order to build support groups. Awareness raising in terms of knowledge about contemporary issues, the situation of women in society, family and workplace, problems of women in society and within the system possible research areas in women?s studies.

The coordinator workshops held in the state, I had the privilege of carrying forward the movement in Upper Assam. Participants from far flung corners of the state participated in the workshops. I have since witnessed the growth of a community of women who are committed to the agenda of making Higher Education in Assam gender friendly and equitable. At least 60% of participants in each workshop have been motivated to take up research and further studies — to equip themselves with the eligibility criteria required for promotion to higher positions. The emerging paradigm is that in each successive workshop, the number of academically accomplished women have increased, making the task of the motivators easier as already a potential resource group of eligible women were ready to be sensitized and step into roles of decision making and policy implementation.

The first sensitization workshop was an eye opener in many ways.The sessions were structured according to the conceptual frame work of the programme. The mode of training was facilitative and learner-centered, which allowed maximum involvement of the participants of the several issues that were fore grounded major concerns converged on the “woman question” the positive and negative aspects of a gender neutral approach, the possibility of looking at gender consciousness as an initial practice that needed to be outgrown, whether this could amount to a lack of feminine awareness or contact with reality.

self-worth and an empowering

self-worth and an empowering

There was a freedom in being with each other a rediscovery of self-worth and an empowering, non competitive participation. For academicians working usually within the structured boundaries of classroom and intellectual platforms—the workshop came as a cathartic release followed by rejuvenation of confidence on our own abilities and mutual respect and trust in the group. In practice it resembled the ritualistic group communions of women?s communities and to me, carried with it the cadenza of as many untold her stories as there were participants. I had never before felt such identification with a group or so empowered in being with other women.
