Research Workshop
In order to advance the program’s commitment to inter-disciplinary research and inquiry into the subject of gender, the Gender Studies Program is pleased to announce an upcoming series of research workshops. The events will include presentations by advanced undergraduates majoring in Gender Studies as well as graduate students and faculty members from a variety of departments who work in the area of gender and sexuality. The workshop will begin with the week’s presenter giving a brief lecture on his or her current research in the field, followed by a seminar-style discussion.
The workshops will be held during Friday Open Houses this semester from 1:30-2:30 pm in the Gender Studies Conference Room, 325 O'Shaughnessy unless otherwise specified below.
