【CGS Reading Group Autumn 2021】Feminism & Technology

Friday,September 10,2021

Every term the Center for Gender Studies (CGS) at ICU hosts both CGS staff-led and student-led reading groups in which we read together a book closely. Certain books may be demanding to read by ourselves, but when we read together it’s better. We can ask each other when we don't understand, and we can continue enjoying our reading together!

This time we cannot gather face-to-face but we would like to host an online reading group session via ZOOM.
