Am I right that you have to be a student to register? If so that's disappointing

You know I hadn’t actually followed the link yet so it’s entirely possible that that’s the case.

Please follow the link for one free ticket per user. The poster that’s been bravely posted around Harvard square contains a physical location but I suspect that’s a decoy, as the website says that the exact location will only be revealed after registration. That said I’m assuming it’ll be held in Cambridge and not Boston, as only the medical school and business school are in Boston.

I plan to contact the Cambridge police and the HUPD and ask them for confirmation that the event, its speakers, and its attendees will be protected.

were you able to find a registration option for people who are not harvard students? maybe even one for harvard staff or faculty? thanks for contacting police.

I just tried getting one too, I can't...I guess it's Harvard students only.

Dammit! Sorry ladies! I hadn’t had time to actually try to register yet (been seriously busy and run off my feet with pet care). My apologies!

What is NeW and what is its take on enlightenment? Network?

Edit: Check this out. Looks super astroturfy to me.

For example, check out their signature program recognizing and showcasing “gentlemen”

https://enlightenedwomen.org/gentlemen-showcase/

There’s a bookclub https://enlightenedwomen.org/book-club-and-list/

Enjoy your “Riley at Harvard!” moment, but be aware

Patriarchally-identified “feminism” alert
