Dear LOVA-members,
We are sorry to have to bring you the very sad news that one of our former LOVA chairs and good friend Karin Willemse has passed away. She died last Saturday the 18th of March surrounded by her loved ones after a period of illness.
Karin will be greatly missed by her son, family, friends, and the (feminist) academic community at large, in particular that of LOVA.
Below, you find the obituary notice and the invitation to attend her farewell service on Monday, March 27, in Leiden. Please do send a note when you intend to come to: inmemoriamkarin@gmail.com as indicated in the obituary. The service will also be live-streamed.
Warm regards,
Tine Davids on behalf of the entire LOVA Board
