Week 23
(26/3/18)
We are pleased to announce the launch of the Feminist Reading group at the University of Kent which will be taking place fortnightly commencing on Monday 29th January (see below for details). The aim of the reading group is to create a non-hierarchical, inclusive and safe space to discuss diverse topics within feminist theory and practice. We hope that this will further assist in the establishment of a feminist network at UKC by creating an environment where feminist issues can be engaged across academic disciplines and subjects.
