Flying University - Women on the Autism Spectrum

Join Caveat and the autism news magazine Spectrum for three talks on dating, employment and race, all given by women on the spectrum.
Flying University is a re-education in hidden histories. This talk series is named after the underground university in Russian-occupied Poland that taught subjects banned by the state-run schools. This rebel organization also educated women, who were barred from attending the official university, including Marie Curie. In that spirit, each Flying University talk highlights a piece of history that has been “conveniently forgotten”. Lets set the record straight.
 
Doors 6:30pm, show 7:00pm.
Tickets: $15 adv/ $20 door.
21+
