NeuroGenderings

The NeuroGenderings Book Club meets online, once per month, to discuss books and other scholarly publications by our members and close colleagues. For information about our current reading list and how to join our discussions, please contact Annie Duchesne here. We welcome everyone, particularly students, in every time zone. If our meeting time is not during your usual work day, please feel free to attend in your pajamas, with coffee or wine, whatever is appropriate for the hour in your time zone. We are an informal group!
