Past Colloquia

The colloquium events are wheelchair accessible, free, and open to the public.

FRAGRANCE-FREE EVENT. For the health and safety of facilitators and participants, it is important that everyone come fragrance-free to any colloquium talk. That means not having any scented products on your body, hair, or clothes and not using any product with a fragrance or smoking/vaping for the duration of the event. If you wear fragrance to this event, other community members may become ill, and you will be asked to wash off a product that makes another person ill or leave if that is not possible. For more information on how and why to go fragrance-free, please go to: http://thinkagaintraining.com/fragrance-free/#forparticipants, http://www.brownstargirl.org/blog/fragrance-free-femme-of-colour-realness-draft-15, or http://hedonish.com/accessibility-fragrance-and-chemical-sensitivities. If you have questions, or if you are not sure you can be fragrance-free, please contact the conference organizers at crgw@letsci.wisc.edu.
