"Read What You Want" Reading Group Meeting

The cover of the book: Gender, Sex, and Tech! An Intersectional Feminist Guide

In a new approach to our reading group, we decided to try out the “read what you want” model! At the end of October members of the lab got together to discuss what they’ve been reading in relation to their research and interests. We shared our titles (posted below), along with overviews of what we’ve each read so far.

Here’s what people are reading at the moment:
