Combined teach-in will focus on the fight against fundamentalism

Oct 19, 2001 · Martin Center Staff

“Women Fight Fundamentalisms: Before and After September 11th” will be the topic of a two-day “teach-in” at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University.

As the title clearly indicates, the topic is women fighting “fundamentalisms” (plural).
