This event is free and open to the public. Kudos to our Institute for Women's Studies for not just this event but for being a dynamic campus unit that fosters crucial discussions on topics important to our entire community. It's one of the many things that makes campus a mainline conduit to the wider cultural life all around us. It runs through UGA.
