A dialogue with Ashleigh Shackelford
Race, gender, sexuality, body type/ size, ability, age, class, and religion affect our navigation, our experiences, and our political power. It’s imperative that we learn how to build knowledge of how our differences unite and empower us. Ashleigh Shackelford will address these themes and more, Monday, June 6, 7:30-9:00 p.m. in the Barn at Pendle Hill, 338 Plush Mill Road in Wallingford. Ashleigh’s talk is part of the First Monday series at Pendle Hill. These lectures are free and open to the public, though online registration is requested. If you are unable to attend in person, registration for livestreaming is available online, at www.pendlehill.org.
