Faculty Research Lunches (ongoing)

Each month a faculty member or administrator presents their recent research on gender or sexuality in an informal lunchtime talk. The Faculty Research Lunches, co-sponsored by the Department of Women's, Gender, and Sexuality Studies, provide an opportunity for the Dickinson community to engage in conversation, dialogue, and discussion about important research from a whole host of disciplines relating to gender and sexuality outside the classroom environment.  Recent contributors have included faculty from Psychology, Economics, English, American Studies, and Middle East Studies.
