‘First Fridays’ Seminar Series

March 3, 2020 – In light of Deakin Downtown’s closure due to COVID-19, the ‘First Fridays’ Seminar Series has been suspended until further notice.

Deakin’s Gender and Sexuality Studies (GSS) Research Network is a space that fosters scholarly, collegial and community-connected explorations of questions linked to the significance of sex, gender and sexuality in contemporary and historical cultures.

As part of our annual calendar of events, on the First Friday of the month, we run a monthly public seminar. The GSS seminar is held from 4-5pm at Deakin Downtown (727 Collins Street, Melbourne), followed by drinks.

 

Participants may be also interested in joining the HDR Peer Network, which runs on the same day from 2-330pm. Details can be found here
