Feminist Theory Series
Join Us in a Discussion of Feminist Texts That Continue to Inspire Us!
Sign UpThe Feminist Theory Series 📚 kicks-off again on January 29th! In a continuing effort to build feminist community here on the stacks, I have invited a handful of my favorite feminist writers ✨ to join us as special guest-participants.
Each special guest has chosen for us an essay or book chapter in their area of interest — a piece that inspires them to want to share with others and discuss. We'll be reading texts across many disciplines: film theory, art history, history history, philosophy, and more! 👀
