To help kick off the topic and explore issues surrounding misogyny and its meaning, I have set up a bi-monthly (twice a month) online reading group to start in October 2025 and finish in March 2026. At the end of the reading group period, I'm intending to organise a workshop on the themes discussed. I will update this page with works read and info about next meetings.
DATE & TIME: Thursdays at 13:45, the meetings will last between 1 and 2 hours.
HOW & HOW OFTEN: We will meet over Teams every two weeks.
TO JOIN: Please email me and I will add you to my email list, justina.berskyte@manchester.ac.uk
