Join us TODAY at noon for the next event in our year-long 50th anniversary celebration—a panel discussion with Anne Mather and Linda Chafin. Mather and Chafin were student feminist activists in the 1970s when the Women's Studies Program was in its infancy, and they will be sharing stories from that period about what it was like for women on the UGA campus. As always, free and open to the public, and FYO approved. See you there!

TOMORROW we welcome Saifa Tazrin, WGS Graduate Teaching Assistant and PhD candidate in Sociology. Ms. Tazrin will be giving a talk titled "The Politics of Calling Her a 'Slut': The Gendered Policing of Politically Active Women."

Saifa Tazrin is a Doctoral Candidate at the University of Georgia, pursuing her dissertation research on the important inquiry of how women's bodies become battlegrounds in the gendered political contexts in post-autocratic postcolonial contexts. She also looks into how AI-driven political narratives on social media give rise to online and offline mob-violence in the South Asian political context. Her research interest lies in Gender-based Violence, Political Sociology, and Feminist Research Methods.
