• An events calendar of feminist/gender/women’s studies at the Claremont Colleges and the surrounding area.
• A list of Women’s Studies courses offered each semester, with detailed descriptions.
• Monthly networking lunches for students on specific themes. This year, we will host an online get-together for students, addressing current events and issues.
• A mailing list with information about events and other opportunities to get involved.
• An up-to-date list of conferences and calls for proposals and papers.
