Women and Gender Brown Bag Lunch
Bring a lunch to the brown bag presentation and learn something new while eating. Every month a staff, faculty or graduate student will be presenting their research or projects that focus on women's issues or gender overall.

Using in-depth interviews with women engaged in sustainable farming in the Mountain West, Pilgeram will explore how women engaged in sustainable agriculture access land to farm.
