To provide opportunities for faculty and students to share emerging work on the race/gender nexus, the Center for Race and Gender hosts a series of bi-monthly Thursday Afternoon Forums. At each meeting one or more faculty and/or graduate student gives brief presentations, followed by open discussion.
These gatherings take place every other Thursday at 4:00 pm in the CRG Conference Room on the 6th floor of Barrows, Room 691. Light refreshments are served.
