Intergenerational Learning
The more senior MAWA staff were shocked—shocked!—to learn what is in style these days. Student Interns Ashpreet Maan and Katie Marquardson have brought so much to MAWA these past months: their labour, fresh perspectives and sartorial tips. How else would we know that scrunchies are back, and not ironically? Many thanks to these two young women who have changed MAWA (for evidence, see photo at above) and to the University of Manitoba Women’s and Gender Studies Department who funded these positions.
