We are excited to convene for our first Inclusions & Exclusions Reading Group discussion for the Spring 2014 semester. We will have Dr. Kate Clancy, an Assistant Professor of Anthropology here at the University of Illinois, join us to discuss her blog post on the Scientific American website, Women in Science: Welcome But Not Welcome. The event will be held on Wednesday, February 26, 2014 at 12:00-1:00 p.m. in GSLIS 341, and virtually via http://go.illinois.edu/gslis_meeting.
