rEADING GROUP
The reading group provides the space for exploration and discussion, furthering opportunities for sharing, INTER-generational co-learning and a deepening of our understanding of the feminist tradition we are a part of. We read and discuss a variety of texts that examine new ideas, alternative models of business and practice through both recent articles and more classic texts.
