Dalhousie's Feminist Seminar series is a series of conversations about
feminist scholarship being conducted by faculty and students at Dalhousie
University, our friends, colleagues, and community. Founded in 2015, the
seminar series provides opportunities for people to come together to
discuss topics related to gender and women’s studies.
This year, we are featuring ten extraordinary scholars across a range of
disciplines. All of the seminars take place on Fridays (as scheduled) from
12:30-1:30pm in the Marion McCain building, room 2021. The space is
accessible and everyone is welcome.
The series begins on Friday, September 16th with Afua Cooper speaking about
"Four Black Women on the Canadian Frontier: Gender, Slavery, and the Making
of Nation."
