CGS will run three weekly book clubs this term. We have a diverse line-up on offer: on Tuesdays we will read Bell Hooks' Feminism is for Everybody as an introduction to feminism, on Wednesdays, we embark on a new endeavour with a work on feminist theology, and on Thursdays, we will read a variety of texts on Gender and Sexuality theory by writers such as Judith Butler, Drucilla Cornell and Adrienne Rich. Please come and join us!
