Converse. Share. Learn.

Table Talk is a fascinating combination of conversations over lunch, led by dynamic women of various cultures, professions and experience at each table. Table Talk benefits the Women’s, Gender & Sexuality Studies program at the University of Houston. The WGSS program combines theoretical and empirical studies to give students the tools to analyze the gender dynamics of the past and present and to build a fair future.
