Join us for the panel discussion at the Vermont History Museum in Montpelier! The Vermont Historical Society and the Vermont Commission will feature a panel of esteemed historians and scholars addressing questions about the study of women's history in the 21st century. Do we still need to separate out women's stories? Does it help or harm women when their history is told separately? Is there a trend away from studying women's history as a separate topic?
Vermont Historical Society Executive Director Mark Hudson says, “We are glad to collaborate once again with the Vermont Commission on Women. We strive to highlight the important contributions of women in our state’s history and gain a better understanding of how the field is evolving.”
Moderated by Cary Brown, the executive director of the Vermont Commission on Women, panelists include Dr. Felicia Kornbluh, Director of Gender, Sexuality, and Women's Studies at the University of Vermont, Dr. Marilyn Blackwell, independent historian, and Holly Allen, Assistant Professor of American Studies at Middlebury College.
This program is free and open to the public, thanks to sponsorship from Northfield Savings Bank, Clute Wealth Management, KeyBank and Cabot Creamery Cooperative. Bring a lunch if you wish; dessert, coffee and tea will be provided. This event will take place from 12:00 to 1:00 pm at the Vermont History Museum at 109 State Street, Montpelier.
