DIVERSITY CONVERSATIONS CONTINUE ON FRIDAY AFTERNOONS

A series of Diversity Conversations sponsored by the Office for Institutional Diversity and the Center for Science in Society will begin Friday, Jan. 30, with a presentation by Natalie Abbott '05 and series organizer Anne Dalke, titled "Culture as Disability." The topic is inspired by an influential essay of the same name by anthropologists Ray McDermott and Herve Varenne; the authors have given the Center permission to post the essay at http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/sci_cult/culturedisability.html.

The series of conversations, which will take place throughout the semester at noon on Fridays in the Multicultural Center, is part of "Making Sense of Diversity," a yearlong initiative sponsored by the Office for Institutional Diversity, the Center for Science in Society, the Center for Ethnicities, Communities and Social Policy, and the Feminist and Gender Studies program. A full calendar, along with summaries of previous discussions and supplementary information, is posted at http://serendip.brynmawr.edu/
