CRGE Graduate Colloquium:
CRGE's Graduate Colloquium is designed specifically for graduate students interested in the intersections of race, gender, ethnicity and other dimensions of difference. Our intention is to extend current thinking about theoretical, methodological, and pedagogical approaches to intersectional analysis, as well as apply these insights to graduate students' own work. The colloquium meets monthly to create interdisciplinary ties among graduate students interested in questions surrounding the construction and perpetuation of categories of social difference.
An optional one credit course is available through WMST 698D or FMST 698W.
All sessions meet in the Maryland Room in Marie Mount Hall from 12 to 2 PM, unless otherwise noted. All graduate students and interested faculty are welcome to attend. A light lunch will be served.
