| Chers amis,
This coming Sunday, October 30, 2022, 6:00 – 7:00 pm, Café Conversation will welcome our AFG member: Dr. Flora Iff-Noel (Assistant Professor in the UF Classics Department). We will have the privilege of learning from Flora about a vital issue: the history of Le planning familial in France!
Interestingly, Flora’s grandmother Simone Iff (née Balfet) was a leader for women’s rights in France, and streets have been named in her honor [Wikipedia] Flora was very close to Simone, and that part of the story is truly heartwarming. Flora will use both French and English depending on her audience’s wishes.
We encourage car-pooling to this in-person event. Parking in the Sun Center is free! Just have your license tag and vehicle information with you at sign-in upstairs (There is no elevator, sorry). If the cozy conference room is not big enough, we will move to the foyer area next door. Masks encouraged.
The address is our very own office and classroom space: Sun Center East, 101 SE 2nd Place – Suite 201-L, Gainesville FL 32601. A sign – or someone live at the glass doors of both the north and south sides of the building – will be there to direct you!
Please note that Flora is also organizing an interdisciplinary conference on the topic at UF which will take place on campus next Tuesday and is free and open to the public. (https://humanities.ufl.edu/event/a-short-history-of-contraception-and-abortion-in-france-and-the-united-states/)
We hope to see you at our event, this Sunday evening! Some of us will be there early at 5:30 for extra French conversation practice, and you may want to join Flora for extended sharing over dinner afterwards at a nearby restaurant with outdoor seating.
Cordialement,
AFG Board
