Please join the Women’s and Gender Studies program on April 19 at 7 p.m. in the Isabella Canon Room as we discuss and celebrate the recent publications of professors Ann Cahill and Kirstin Ringelberg, Overcoming Objectification: A Carnal Ethics (Routledge) and Redefining Gender in American Impressionist Studio Paintings: Work Place/Domestic Space (Ashgate) respectively.
Ringelberg challenges how we read the representation of domestic space in the paintings of American women impressionist painters and Cahill questions the category of “objectification,” which has become a convention of feminist thought, in thinking about gender and sexuality. Both of these books are provocative and very, very smart.
Refreshments, of course, will follow. This event is open to all!
