Tuesday, March 1, 3:30‐4:30: What is Feminism? with Dr. Dev Poling
Location: Elson Hall Auditorium or Live on Facebook
This talk will cover what feminism is, and is not. Dr. Poling will discuss history and historical events that have shaped feminist thinking over the years. She will also talk about some examples of different types of feminism (not all) and take a look at the current, modern day ways of conceptualizing feminist thinking within the larger framework of gender.
Tuesday, March 15, 3:30‐4:30:
Why Do We Still Need Feminism? with Dr. Dev Poling
Location: Elson Hall Auditorium or Live on Facebook
In this lecture, Dr. Poling will focus on the gaps that exist between men and women across a variety of different domains. These gaps cannot be explained by different abilities or different motivations between men and women. We will look at the role of implicit stereotypes, cognitive biases, and the perpetuation of social roles that maintain a certain status quo in society.
Tuesday, March 22, 3:30‐4:30: Let Ohio Women Vote, WOUB PBS documentary
Location: Elson Hall Auditorium or email hubble@ohio.edu for virtual viewing
Details from lead producer Ann Rotolante - “Learn some surprising history behind the women’s rights movement and explore some little‐known connections to national events with this new film. Ohio women really led the way. Some Ohio women are fairly well‐known for their activism ‐‐ like Mary Church Terrell, who was a founding member of the NAACP, and Victoria Woodhull, who ran for President in 1872, but there's a lot of surprising history in our state with quite a few connections to the national suffrage movement that are not as well known. I'm lookingforward to sharing these stories with our audience. In addition to looking at the women’s activism taking place in Ohio before well‐known national events like Seneca Falls, the documentary explores a much longer timeline for all women to achieve ballot access in the years after 1920, and the role that Ohio played in making that happen.”
