Kitchen Table Seminars 2012
26-01-2012
Aletta organises monthly Kitchen Table Seminars during which researchers in the fields of women’s and gender studies give a peek into the work they are doing and share their knowledge, personal motivation and dilemmas with us. The seminars take place in an intimate, informal setting which provides plenty of chance for dialogue. They provide unique insights into the how and why of scientific study in the areas of the history and emancipation of women.
