Gawking Gaping Staring: Living in Marked Bodies

The Bryn Mawr activities list serv sent out an e-mail for an event with Eli Clare. This might interest some people so I thought I would post the information.

On Feb 24th at 7:30pm the author Eli Clare is going to be doing a interactive presentation in Dalton 300.

Meet Eli informally at Batten House before the big event – come to
Batten at 5:30 for a home-cooked vegetarian meal and interesting
conversation.
***Please RSVP to amelton@brynmawr.edu if you’re coming to dinner!
