The B- word Dialogues
@ Wood Center Multi-Level Lounge
Students from Communication, Psychology, Sociology, Women's & Gender Studies, and additional disciplines will bring what they are learning in their classes to this discussion about whether words like bitch and pussy have been or can be claimed, reclaimed and/or re-purposed; whether such words are appropriate to use in any context; whether there are parameters around when, by, and with whom such words can be used.
Join the dialogue as students bring these questions and more to the Multi-Level Lounge in the Wood Center.
