This year, the Women's Caucus has teamed up with the Women in Religion and Migration units to host events as we begin to hand off our sessions to official units. There will be six total sessions, including some training workshops and some brown bag lunches.
We'd love to have you attend!

In the run-up to AAR/SBL, I'll be listing out our seven sessions.
The first one isn't actually a session, per se. On Friday, Nov. 17, from 12:30 to 2:30 pm, we will be hosting a workshop session. Among other things, this workshop will include a self-defense course to help keep yourself safe.
