Each year, the Tufts University Women's Studies Program hosts this exciting forum. The goal of the forum is to provide a context for sharing with the wider Tufts community the work on women and gender that Tufts undergraduate and graduate students are doing in classes and independent projects across the disciplines.
Our 23rd annual Women's Studies Beyond the Classroom student forum has been scheduled for Friday, March 28, 2008 from 1:00-4:30pm in the Terrace Room (Paige Hall). See below for a link to both this year's and last year's programs. Also, remember to check out our photos from this year's and past Beyond the Classroom events in our Photo Gallery!
