My story

The feminist academic and activist Diana Leonard sadly died last year aged 68 of endometrial cancer. Diana inspired students and colleagues from around the world. She did so primarily through the Centre for Research on Education and Gender (CREG), which she established at the Institute of Education, University of London, in 1984: it explored the lives of girls and women across all phases of education, and such issues as single-sex versus mixed schooling, bullying in schools and academia, and the conditions for undertaking doctorates.

 

Diana has left a lasting legacy in establishing the Diana Leonard Centenary Scholarship. This scholarship will be awarded to an international student who has demonstrated academic excellence and has the desire and passion to improve education worldwide.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, the IOE will receive your gift directly and Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s a really efficient way to donate.

 

Plus all gifts until July 31st 2011 will benefit from the government gift matching scheme and your gifts will automatically be increased by 50% at no extra cost or effort to you.

 

So please honour Diana's lasting legacy and donate today.
