FEMglocal's in person seminar takes place next Monday, 10th October. The event is free attendance. At a time when contemporary social movements, including those championing the right to housing, climate justice, feminisms, and racial equality, are gaining increased visibility in both the media and the national public discourse, FEMglocal's seminar presents an ideal platform to reflect on how these movements express themselves, interact with the media, and influence our society and citizenship.
