MeetingsSWS offers two annual meetings, the winter and summer meetings. Not
only are these a great chance to network and connect with other
feminist scholars but the meetings offer colloquia on topics ranging
from activism, globalization, teaching and the disaster and
reconstruction. Put the upcoming meetings on your calendar and join us!
The Hand Program
connects newer SWS members to more established members to have coffee or a meal during meetings. If you find professional meetings to be intimidating experiences filled with unfamiliar faces, the Hand Program can make meetings more welcoming.
