ANNOUNCEMENT
SAFIRE
(Students Active in Feminist-Inspired Research and Education)
SAFIRE is a newly formed network of students at the University of
Western Ontario who are interested or engaged in research on women or
from a feminist perspective. Students involved in these fields of
study are located in many different disciplines throughout the
university. SAFIRE is meant to draw these students together so that
they might share their research interests with one another in a
supportive atmosphere.
SAFIRE meets regularly in a variety of forums: discussion groups
following guest lecturers on campus, seminars focused on pre-
specified readings, paper presentations by members, and regular social
events, to name a few.
