Our online new books lecture series
Please join us for our online lecture series, "New Books - Live - on Secularism, Gender, Law & Politics", hosted by Melanie Adrian, Amélie Barras & Jennifer Selby. You may sign up for individual talks with the links below.
This one-hour online series began in the early days of the global pandemic. We have continued online.
