Upcoming Events

The Institute for Women’s and Gender Studies at the University of Georgia continues our longstanding annual tradition of hosting special events throughout March to recognize Women’s History Month. These events provide opportunities for the University of Georgia campus and broader community to access the diverse perspectives, rich history, and cultural impact of women.

Join the Hargrett Library on Thursday, March 20th at 6:00pm for a talk with Sara Idacavage, curator of our newest exhibition From Farms to Fast Fashion: Unraveling the Need for Sustainable Style.

This event is free and open to the public; a light reception will follow.
