Feminist Futures Lecture Series
The Feminist Futures Lecture Series offers presentations of current feminist research being carried out by faculty associated with the Institute. Drawing from the rich interdisciplinary, intersectional research environment that marks past work and frames future endeavors, the Feminist Futures Lecture Series continues the development of critical intellectual and political spaces and knowledge-building around gendered issues. In this friendly but critically engaged space, you are invited to connect with a community of scholar-activists associated with the Institute at Carleton University.
Florence Bird Annual Lecture
The Florence Bird Lecture, one of the major lecture series at Carleton University, is named in honour of Senator Florence Bird who served as the Chair of the Royal Commission on the Status of Women (1967-1970). Each year, the Lecture features a prominent individual and highlights their important work in their respective field. The topics of the Florence Bird Lecture have varied significantly over the years, but always focus on areas of particular concern for an equitable and just society.
