Unique Perspectives on Face & Gender

In this learning symposium, Dr. Shin, Dr. Zamora, and Dr. Patterson will each present an interesting twist on feminism. Topics will range from futurism, black beauty, technology, orientalism, art, class, and poetry. VSW will provide a special performance as well.
"Oppression" & Religion
Tues. 3/17 | 7pm | Buttrick 202
