The Women and Movement series is designed to collectively engage women scholars and artists from across the gulf south region to take part in discourse about place, performance, and the socio-political issues that transform their bodies, art, language, and greater community.

This program is hosted by New Orleans Center for the Gulf South with the support of Dr. John "Ray" Proctor from Tulane University's Department of Theatre and Dance.
