CREATING CHANGE: FEMINISM, THE UNIVERSITY AND SOCIETY

The conference will interrogate how scholarship, clinical interventions, and academic-ngo collaboration has the capacity to generate social change in such areas as human rights, environmental justice, reproductive justice, the family and the workplace.
