AEL and Athena SWAN release a short film for International Women’s Day 2025
This year AEL and Athena SWAN celebrates International Women’s Day 2025 with the release of this short film Let’s Talk Gender.

Filmed in the QUB film studio and comprising interviews with staff and students, this film is a celebration of ideas and thinking around the often-tricky topic of gender.
Made with and by AEL students and staff, it articulates why we study gender, what the challenges are and why we need to keep on doing it! As one interviewee memorably put it, gender is not something anyone is outside of.
Happy International Women’s Day!
