Interest Groups Online Groups

This participatory discussion Group explores diverse topics relevant to women’s lives today.
There are six scheduled sessions, each with a different topic, meeting twice monthly. This format quickly builds interesting conversations and understanding between members.
There is potential for the Group to consider further meetings after the initial 6 sessions.
Topics:

  • Please mind the (Gender Design) Gap – women left out of everyday design;
  • How #MeToo changed lives, attitudes and the law;
  • Interrupted – undermining women’s ability and expression;
  • Defiance – the importance of women protestors;
  • The struggle and success of women’s return to faith leadership;
  • Embracing being an older woman.

When

1st and 3rd Thursday of the month, from 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm (for 6 sessions only)
