Traveling Speakers Series

The Department of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies (GSWS) at Simon Fraser University is offering the services of the Traveling Speakers Series to the women’s communities in BC and Yukon.

This program began in September 1990 and has been a great success. For those of you who have not participated before, the Traveling Speakers’ Series involves a member of the GSWS faculty, associate faculty, Master, or Doctoral student traveling to a community (outside the Lower Mainland) and speaking to a women’s group or community college.  

If you are interested in learning more please contact Roberta at gswsmgr@sfu.ca.

I never imagined my choice to do so would result in a spring visit to Haida Gwaii, approximately 1,700 kilometres north of British Columbia’s Lower Mainland.
