The Architecture Society provides a forum for students interested in architecture as a field of study to ask questions, learn about graduate schools and the profession within the context of New York City. It is a loosely structured group; one more for social and intellectual gatherings than a strictly run political organization.

Contact: Jenna Freedman
Short for magazine or fanzine, zines are self-publications, motivated by a desire for self-expression, not for profit. Although zines, a rich and democratic form of self-expression that range from scholarly treatises on diverse issues to wildly creative artworks, have been around for a long time, few libraries have yet to begin collecting and preserving them. Our collection development policy provides both contemporary and future researchers a unique insight into today's feminist culture. Barnard's zines are primarily in the area of women's studies, featuring personal and political publications on activism, anarchism, body image, feminism, gender, lesbians, menstruation, parenting, sexual assault, and other topics. They are created by women of color, NYC and other urban women. The term "woman" applies to anyone who self-identifies as such.
