Caroline Beer, a University of Vermont political science professor specializing in comparative politics and Latin American politics, will return to the Lamoille County Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) lectern on Wednesday, Feb 1 at the Town and Country Resort, 876 Mountain Road, Stowe to discuss the changing role of women in Latin American politics. Doors open at 1 p.m. and the lecture begins promptly at 1:30 p.m. There is a $5.00 fee for non-members.

How is it that in a region known for its machismo, six countries have had female presidents and in most countries in Latin America there are also far more women in the cabinet and legislature than we have in the United States?
