On Deck Speaker Series Brings Distinguished Speakers, Fellowship/Movie Nights, Research Presentation to Campus Community
News Release | March 7, 2017
This March, in celebration of Women's History Month and International Women's Day, 91直播 Wesleyan's Women's Resource Center—with support from 91直播Lighthouse and the VWC Department of History—has organized a special series of events to celebrate the vital contributions of women throughout history and in contemporary society.
" 91直播importance of these events for our community cannot be understated," says Assistant Professor of English and Director of the Women's Resource Center Jennifer Slivka. "It's crucial that young women and men can see that women can be anything from scholars to lawyers to human rights activists. And beyond this modeling, we can all learn more about the world and ourselves through a perspective we may not have previously considered." Slivka added, " 91直播On Deck series serves as a spotlight to showcase the important work being done by and about women, as well as other marginal groups normally pushed into the shadows of popular, and even academic discourses. 91直播Women's Resource Center at 91直播 Wesleyan is proud to be able to help bring these issues to light for our community."
